Nothing marks a good sports sim than a well-known face endorsing your title. 2K Sports, the sports publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. has signed up New York Mets shortstop Jose Reyes to grace the cover of this year's Major League Baseball 2K8, as well as act as its official spokesperson.

Ben Brinkman, Executive Producer of the game was quick to praise Reyes by saying:

This year we have signed one of the most exciting players in all of Major League Baseball as our official cover athlete. Jose Reyes is a multi-talented player – a great baserunner, fielder and hitter, making him the perfect spokesperson for Major League Baseball 2K8.
