Thirteen-year-old sensation Mo'ne Davis, who plays for Philadelphia’s Taney Dragons, has become the first Little Leaguer to grace the national cover of Sports Illustrated. The 5-foot-4 inch, 111-pound eighth grader is not only taking the Little League World Series by storm, but also she has captured the nation’s attention.

"Last week, this week, maybe next week, she's owned the sports conversation," Sports Illustrated manager editor Chris Stone said. "How often do you get to say this about a 13-year-old girl? It's the easiest type of story to identify as a cover story."

She apparently earned the cover by
- throwing a shutout in the Mid-Atlantic Final, which allowed her team to go to the Little League World Series and
- then throwing another shutout, becoming the first female to do so in Little League World Series history

I won't speak to any other political reasons why this week over any other weeks. I just wish Miss Davis much success in her life. Keep kicking ass, girl.

(saw this over on Craigslist POC forum. Thank you to @boytoy, whoever and wherever you may be, for the heads up)

this isnt political, black people are on the cover of SI more than any other race, and the story here is here gender not her race...

in either case tho... great story... talented girl... and really is genuinely charming in interviews... i could see her realistically being the face of the wnba in a couple of years.
