MFY loss over MFY win tilted this toward Dozen Get Any Better. Later

This ought to be a walkover for SEEDS. Great, unique pic, headline tells the story, vs. just a pun.

I was at the seeds game. What a great moment.

SEEDS OF LIFE got my vote too, because of its uniqueness. I pay little or no attention to the other stories mentioned on the margins of the cover. Because the Daily News won the majority of the first-round polls, this is one of the few second-round polls that does not feature at least one Daily News cover.

Seeds over happy Yo, but just by a little...

Wow, a tough one. I was at the 12-run game and it was awesome. But I went with Seeds, because it was good to see David Wright smiling.

I went to the "Dozen" game but the Yo picture, fortunately, could have been from many games. The "Seeds" picture was, unfortunately, unique. And I like any cover with stuff being poured.

SEEDS OF LIFE does better than DOZEN GET ANY BETTER and becomes the first New York Post cover to advance to the third round.
