Do you remember "Cover of the Rollin' Stone" by Dr. Hook?
...the thrill that'll getcha
when you get your picture
on the cover of the Rollin' Stone.
That's how I feel about the cover of Baseball America, our sport's most authoritative publication (with its offices right here in Durham.)
BA's current cover features former Bulls' pitcher Jeremy Hellickson, promoted back in August to the Tampa Bay Rays. He's in a Bulls' uniform...playing at the DBAP...with Bull City fans in the background.
Yet another tribute to Jeremy, to the Rays' organization and the Bulls bask in the glow of it all.
Just a few of Hellickson's accolades:
2009 Triple-A National Championship MVP
2010 International League Most Valuable Pitcher
2010 USA Today Player of the Year
2010 Baseball America Player of the Year
The cover of Baseball America has been good to the Bulls...
