Cover Story: 'SI' Celebrates Cubs Win With Special Cover

Sports Illustrated moved up its publishing date to celebrate the Chicago Cubs’ historic victory in the 2016 World Series, breaking a more than century-old “curse.”

The iconic sports magazine brought is publication date forward by almost a week to ride the tide of jubilation over the Cubs’ World Series title, their first since 1908.

Sports Illustrated executive editor Stephen Cannella stated: “Cubs fans have been waiting 108 years for this, so we figured it was only right to let them see their team on the cover of Sports Illustrated as World Series champions as soon a possible. A historic moment deserves a unique and historic issue of SI.”
