This one was easy. We'll also accept another answer based on the way the question was worded.

More Reggie:

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Michael Jordan (North Carolina, Bulls, White Sox, Wizards)

[batmagadanleadoff]

I'm declaring Reggie the winning answer of this quiz, but technically, Jordan made the SI cover with five different teams:

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Forgot the Dream Team. Nice.

[batmagadanleadoff]

See what happens when you focus on the negative? You see the weeds and not the flowers.

That was eight years before the Dream Team. This is the Dream Team and, depending on how you interpret "team", perhaps Jordan's sixth team on the cover:

No baseball here, but five teams for Shaq:

[batmagadanleadoff]

One more baseball player covered on four different teams by SI.

Just one. But with the right team.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

I'm thinking Bo Jackson, probably Auburn, the Royals, White Sox and Raiders.

No White Sox cover. But a Memphis Chicks cover. So there's your four. I overlooked Bo. So there's still at least one more out there.

Three, but not four, for Gaylord (Giants, Padres and Mariners):

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Deion Sanders - Cowboys, Falcons, 49ers, Reds?

[batmagadanleadoff]

And three for Clemens (no Blue Jay cover):

[Edgy MD]

Nolan Ryan --- Mets, Angels, Astros, Rangers.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Deion Sanders - Cowboys, Falcons, 49ers, Reds?

Winner! Substitute Falcons for 49ers:

Close, but no Astros cover for Nolan.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

I'd have thought the Astros the one lock out of the four for Ryan, and the Mets the least likely.

Ryan was a retired legend when he made the cover as a Met. That was a nostaslgia "Where are they now?" cover, issued in 2009.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Ah. Makes sense.

[Edgy MD]

Pete Rose: Reds, Phillies, Expos, Ohio State Penitentiary.

[stevejrogers]

Rickey Henderson
A's, MFY, Blue Jays, Padres

[soupcan]

What a douche.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Rickey Henderson A's, MFY, Blue Jays, Padres

Just two:

[Edgy MD]

Check out Joe Morgan:

Phillies:


Reds:


And this fantastic shot of him as a hotshot young Astro:


Sadly, no shots of him with either of the Bay Area teams.
