The 5-foot-4 inch, 111-pound eighth grader is not only taking the Little League World Series by storm, but also she has captured the nation’s attention. Last week, this week, maybe next week, shes owned the sports conversation, Sports Illustrated manager editor Chris Stone said. How often do you get to say this about a 13-year-old girl? Its the easiest type of story to identify as a cover story. The writer, Albert Chen, said it perfectly in the story, Shes a lot of things to a lot of different people, all of them good things: a totem for inner-city baseball, a role model for your 10-year-old niece, a role model for your 10-year-old nephew, Stone said. Most of all, shes a laid-back kid just having a really good time. youtu.be/iFgoypz8gbU
