Up for auction is a mint and unread copy of the May 19, 2008 SI issue. On the cover is Indy Car racer Danica Patrick as the open wheel league prepares for the Indianapolis 500 after the 2 rivals re-merged. This copy does not have a mailing label.

This issue features the following:"Forget The Hype"- Danica Patrick has been racing for 17 tough years and now faces the strongest 500 field in a generation but she believes this is her time. "Winning In Style"- changing the color of his pads was just one step in the remaking of Pittsburgh goalie Marc-Andre Fleury, who now plays the puck with more confidence and is keeping the Penguins on the road to the finals. "Kobe And The Bench Mob"- a foursome of fiesty (and variously coiffed) players who embrace their role as a backup act are the key to the Lakers championship hopes. "Sparks Are Flying"- this isn't your daddy's WNBA anymore, as independent owners take over key teams (including L.A.) and an influx of new and returned stars promise the most competitive season ever. "May Days"- ping-pong, pool time and a humbling nine-game road trip for a team on the verge: SI went along for the ride and an exclusive look at the young and talented Brewers. "The Horse We Rode In On"- he was born crippled, unable to stand and nurse without human assistance. For a while he pulled a grocer's wagon but Dan Patch became an undefeated champion and the model for the modern sports superstar.

This would be great for any racing fan as well as any SI collector. Buyer to pay $3.25 shipping and handling. As always, thanks for looking and have fun bidding!
