I googled "SI Faces in the Crowd" to find out what this actually was (had never heard of it until now), and stumbled upon the link:

When I was a subscriber to SI, Faces in the Crowd was the first thing I went to.

I haven't read an SI in so long, I forgot what that section was. Good for him!

People only buy it for the swimsuit issue now.

People only buy it for the swimsuit issue now.

Do you expect dogs and giraffes to buy it? Why limit it to just people?

Very cool. With that kind of high jump, he deserved it.

 

[MaroonGopher]

Wow. I knew he was an athlete, but not that athletic. That's really cool. Looking forward more and more to seeing him play in a couple years.

I have an old issue with Earl Campbell as a high school player as one of the "Faces in the Crowd" He said he just wants to play football to buy his mom a house. Massively cool.

And when I was in a buddy's wedding, he gave each of his groomsmen a vintage issue of SI that might mean something to them. I got a 1986 Jack Nicklaus Masters version. Makes me want to dig it up and see who the "faces" are.

That type of "hunt and gather" seems to have been lost.

I could go on, but I'm sure I'm boring anyone who has read this far.
