New York Mets shortstop Jose Reyes will be the cover athlete for Major League Baseball 2K8, the latest installment in 2K Sports' franchise.
Jose Reyes, best known for base-stealing, is also the first player in baseball history to have more than 63 steals, 120 runs, 192 hits, and 19 homers in a single season. Reyes led the Major League in 2006 with 17 triples and 64 stolen bases and set a new Mets club record with 104 hits at Shea Stadium.
"This is the first time I have ever been on the cover of a video game and it is very exciting to be a part of the best video game out there," said Reyes in a 2K press release.
MLB 2K8 will be available in spring 2008 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2 PlayStation Portable system, and the Nintendo Wii.
