I feel this magazine cover has a much deeper meaning than any other magazine with your average superstar athlete on the cover. Ken Griffey Jr.'s previous years have been filled with stints on the DL and being benched with injuries; a very rough time for Griffey. That is why I feel this cover has a much deeper meaning. Griffey's glasses being lifted up is like a burden being lifted off his chest. He was finally injury free. I also feel that Griffey Jr. looking up to the sky, is a sign of him looking up to the bright side and that his career can only improve from the past several years. Another aspect I picked up on was where Griffey's hand is on the bill of his hat and glasses, it appears almost as if he is saluting God for everything he has been blessed with.

I think that your analysis of this subject is very interesting. I think that the way in which have used Griffey's past experiences to show the artistic side of this cover is very enlightening. Although you have viewed this cover very deeply, most would just notice the superstar on the cover. I think that is is very intriguing how you have taken a different approach to the usual star cover of a magazine.
