Cover of the Day

As of today, the 21-9 Cleveland Indians are holding down the #1 spot in Sports Illustrated's Power Rankings.  Keep in mind this is a team SI had finishing near the bottom of not only the AL Central, but the whole league in their March MLB preview issue.

...so when do the Tribe start tanking?  They finished 25 games below .500 last year and it's only May.  In honor of the inevitable Cleveland collapse, here is then Indian Albert Belle on the cover back on May 6, 1996, shortly after beaming a reporter in the stands with a ball.  Keep it classy, Albert.
