At Mashable, Sam Laird notes:
Davis is the first Little Leaguer — male or female — to make Sports Illustrated's iconic cover, while her youth puts her in good company. Former tennis prodigies Tracy Austin and Jennifer Capriati also made it as 13-year-olds, in 1976 and 1990, respectively. Venus Williams (1997), Michelle Kwan (1998), LeBron James (2002), Maria Sharpova (2004), and Serena Williams (1999) all made it as 17-year-olds.If you want to see Mo'Ne in action, she'll be pitching again tonight and the game will air on ESPN at 7:30 ET.
