LASTING IMAGES

Over the last 43 years, SPORTS ILLUSTRATED has published
numerous memorable portraits of prominent figures in sports. In
these 24 pages, we proudly present a gallery of the finest
portraiture in our archives--from Sonny's scowl to Chrissie's
smile, from Reggie's chest to Yogi's back, from a Tiger on the
fairway to one Bird on the mound and to another on the hardwood
