Despite her feminine beauty, model Kate Upton can be one of the guys too. The model recently changed the rules of Sports Illustrated by being the first model ever featured on a weekly issue. Kate posed alongside her "family," Atlanta Braves players B.J. Upton and Justin Upton.

Kate Upton, who has been on the cover of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue two times, is seen on the cover of Sports Illustrated's Oct. 7 postseason preview dressed in full Braves uniform, all the way down to the cleats. This is also a first, as Kate is not in any revealing or sexy attire. Females placed on the cover of the sports magazine typically wear revealing swimsuits. Of course, that is not to say that Kate does not bring sex appeal to the cover.

Kate, 21, was more than happy to make her third appearance on Sports Illustrated's sought after cover page in just two years.

"This shoot is so much fun," Kate said. "Honestly, shooting with anybody in the Sports Illustrated family is a lot of fun for me because I know everybody and I love everybody here. And we're dancing and enjoying a little baseball, and I get a jersey."

Although the photo spread features Atlanta Braves baseball players, the photo shoot took place at Citi Filed, home of the New York Mets, in Queens. The shoot occurred while the Braves were in Queens to play a series against the Mets.

Earlier this week, Kate was in Paris for Fashion Week and got plenty of attention for not wearing any...make-up.

E! was quick to capture the model on her way home from the gym where she boasted a plain back t-shirt, a slicked-back ponytail and even a few blemishes on her cover-up-free face. Most importantly, however, the model was not too shy to take a picture with a smile despite all the bells and whistles to which she is accustomed.

The newest Sports Illustrated cover and Kate's displayed confidence in her natural beauty show Kate to be a down-to-earth model. Her attitude and image are a pleasant change in the hyper-sexualized world of modeling, and it is no wonder Sports Illustrated keeps asking the model back.
