As soon as I learned about the backstory of this SI cover I knew I had to have one… its proudly displayed in my “card cave” and I enjoy retelling the story of the friendship of Mays and Durocher and the sad reality of the blowback SI received nearly 8 years after Jackie joined the Dodgers.

What a player - time for me to reread his biography.
