Kate Upton Lands on Sports Illustrated Cover, Joins Justin, B.J. Upton for Photo Shoot (Photos)

Kate Upton has appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated three times now — just 47 fewer than Michael Jordan, who has appeared on the cover more than any other athlete.

Upton, who has landed two Sports Illustrated Swimsuit covers, joined the Upton bothers — B.J. and Justin — on the Oct. 2 issue cover.

Because her last name’s Upton?

The Braves’ brotherly duo not only share the cover with the world’s most popular model, but they also took part in a photo shoot on and around Turner Field in Atlanta with Ms. Upton.
