Which baseball player made the cover of Sports Illustrated with the most number of teams? Name the player and the teams.

seawolf17 May 30 2013 06:41 PM Re: SI Cover Quiz

Gut reaction is Reggie. A's/O's/Y's/Angels.

Zvon May 30 2013 06:42 PM Re: SI Cover Quiz

Reggie? 1As 2 Skanks 3 Angels 4orioles

This one was easy. We'll also accept another answer based on the way the question was worded.

batmagadanleadoff May 30 2013 06:49 PM Re: SI Cover Quiz

More Reggie:

Swan Swan H May 30 2013 06:50 PM Re: SI Cover Quiz

Michael Jordan (North Carolina, Bulls, White Sox, Wizards)

batmagadanleadoff May 30 2013 06:58 PM Re: SI Cover Quiz

I'm declaring Reggie the winning answer of this quiz, but technically, Jordan made the SI cover with five different teams:

Swan Swan H May 30 2013 07:01 PM Re: SI Cover Quiz

Forgot the Dream Team. Nice.

batmagadanleadoff May 30 2013 07:05 PM Re: SI Cover Quiz

See what happens when you focus on the negative? You see the weeds and not the flowers. That was eight years before the Dream Team. This is the Dream Team and, depending on how you interpret "team", perhaps Jordan's sixth team on the cover:

No baseball here, but five teams for Shaq:

batmagadanleadoff May 30 2013 07:12 PM Re: SI Cover Quiz

One more baseball player covered on four different teams by SI.

Carlos BelTRAN!

Swan Swan H May 30 2013 07:20 PM Re: SI Cover Quiz

I'm thinking Bo Jackson, probably Auburn, the Royals, White Sox and Raiders.

batmagadanleadoff May 30 2013 07:32 PM Re: SI Cover Quiz

Three, but not four, for Gaylord (Giants, Padres and Mariners):

Swan Swan H May 30 2013 07:34 PM Re: SI Cover Quiz

Deion Sanders - Cowboys, Falcons, 49ers, Reds?

batmagadanleadoff May 30 2013 07:34 PM Re: SI Cover Quiz

And three for Clemens (no Blue Jay cover):

Edgy MD May 30 2013 07:35 PM Re: SI Cover Quiz

Nolan Ryan --- Mets, Angels, Astros, Rangers.

batmagadanleadoff May 30 2013 07:35 PM Re: SI Cover Quiz

Deion Sanders - Cowboys, Falcons, 49ers, Reds? Winner! Substitute Falcons for 49ers:

Swan Swan H May 30 2013 07:40 PM Re: SI Cover Quiz

I'd have thought the Astros the one lock out of the four for Ryan, and the Mets the least likely.

Swan Swan H May 30 2013 07:52 PM Re: SI Cover Quiz

Ah. Makes sense.

Edgy MD May 30 2013 08:23 PM Re: SI Cover Quiz

Pete Rose: Reds, Phillies, Expos, Ohio State Penitentiary.

SteveJRogers May 31 2013 12:10 PM Re: SI Cover Quiz

Rickey Henderson A's, MFY, Blue Jays, Padres

soupcan May 31 2013 12:55 PM Re: SI Cover Quiz

What a douche.

Rickey Henderson A's, MFY, Blue Jays, Padres Just two:

Edgy MD May 31 2013 07:23 PM Re: SI Cover Quiz

Check out Joe Morgan: Phillies: Reds: And this fantastic shot of him as a hotshot young Astro: Sadly, no shots of him with either of the Bay Area teams.

Swan Swan H May 31 2013 07:46 PM Re: SI Cover Quiz

Sonny Jackson. Not a lot of guys going by 'Sonny' these days.

Edgy MD May 31 2013 08:10 PM Re: SI Cover Quiz

Good point. Yon't even find the odd "Chico' out there anymore. Great shot, though, huh?

batmagadanleadoff Jun 01 2013 10:02 AM Re: SI Cover Quiz

Check out Joe Morgan: And this fantastic shot of him as a hotshot young Astro: I've been an SI obsessed freak for most of my life and that Astro cover was always one of my favorites. It's easy to miss second base - the lone visual reminder that the infielders are on a baseball diamond. Otherwise, Morgan and Jackson appear to be floating in space, like astronauts. That cover is from the period that I consider to be SI's golden age of covers, spanning the mid to late sixties, when SI combined their trend setting talents for sports photography with a newfound sense of creativity.

I'm not a cover keeper. But the one SI cover I have (somewhere in my house) is a picture of Gary Carter in Montreal catcher's gear. And the cover article is "Why The National League is Better". Later

Wilfred (Sonny) Siebert (1975) finished up one year after Roland (Sonny) Jackson. None since in the majors, but Oakland has a pitching prospect at AAA whose real name is Sonny Gray.
