SI has been shooting athlete portraits since the magazine's launch 60 years ago. Here at SI.com we've already published galleries of our photographers' best NFL, NBA and college basketball portraits, and today we have our 100 best from major league baseball, of which I've picked my favorites for the gallery above.

Controversy in College Chess

And you thought college football was controversial. Texas Tech chess coach Susan Polgar led the school to national championships in 2011 and 2012, but left Lubbock after her request for more than $1 million in funding for the program (including a salary of $250,000 for her and $150,000 for her husband, a fellow coach) was denied by the school. Polgar and her team landed at Webster University, where she has coached the past two Final Four champions. Now other schools are crying foul because Webster is spending so much more than other chess programs.

Lakers Girls Lunch Date

Last month, The Laker Girls teamed up with Carl’s Junior to for a “Laker Girls Lunch Date,” where the cheerleaders visited 12 Carl's Jr. locations in southern California and met with fans, signed autographs and posed for photos. The resulting photos are the most awkward and funniest I've seen this week.

Syracuse vs. Duke :: Chris Keane/SI

The jacket Jim Boeheim wore during his now infamous ejection from February's Duke-Syracuse game was purchased for $14,000 by Syracuse superfan Neil Gold, who was sitting behind the Syracuse coach during the outburst. Gold, who also received the shirt and tie Boeheim wore that day, will add the jacket to his collection of at least 100 SU basketball-themed items.
