I voted Yes-Pedes. That's the year right there.

CON4TO!, sing it with me!

As historians look back on the winner many years from now, they will remember that the Cespedes acquisition was the story of this year. Conforto will have that honor for many years to come. Later

Also be aware that "story of the year", while a valid criteria, isn't the only criteria to use. The only instruction is to vote for the cover you like best, for whatever reason.

The minor headlines play a factor in this for me. I'm all in on YES-PEDES.

Ben, it wasn't my only reason. I also liked the expressions on the players and the guy wearing the bag out of embarrassment. Later

I love both covers, but went with "YES-PEDES". Love the expressions. Dead Nats. Green arm sleeve. Conforto's coming out party was great, but when the Mets swept the Nats I was dancing. Plus the MFY's are tumbling in the top banner.

All of the above!

Oooh... tied 8 to 8.

d'Kong76 Jan 28 2016 05:27 PM Re: 2015 Tabloid Cover Derby Round 6.0.1 FINAL ROUND

YES-PEDES trying to pull away... it's a CONspiracy I tell you!

It's no fair. If he signed with the Orioles, Conforto would be kicking his ass. He's getting a retroactive boost!

Benjamin Grimm Jan 28 2016 06:26 PM Re: 2015 Tabloid Cover Derby Round 6.0.1 FINAL ROUND

I have to think this was part of his plan. It's like in politics, when there's an "October surprise."

Whichever one Guam is in.

I was gonna guess Central European Time Zone, which is the time zone of Stockholm. Hey, they sign the checks.

The layouts kinda BOTH suck on these. The Conforto one sucks less.

C'mon Con4to!

I would not have expected these two to be the finalists, btw
