Cab is nice, but I gotta go for the cover showing a guy in a Mets uni!

I think that's a nice pic of Callaway and the fist bump kinda illustrates the youngish approach he'll bring over Collins. But it seems counterintuitive to vote for a "Met" wearing a Cleveland uniform. Love the picture of Cespedes, but don't like the weird floating Harvey and the odd choice to put the 3 in bold red.

That Cleveland uniform is a handicap that TAB CALLOWAY will have a hard time overcoming. TAB won the first round by only one vote, over the News' HI MICKEY!, which would have had a better chance here.

Both are well composed, but the right to left orientation of the TRESPEDES cover is superior, along with them putting the medallion top right, and only putting a marketing hijack banner at the bottom (where such things belong) instead of both at the bottom and the top in the TAB CALLAWAY cover, where they squeeze the meat out of the sandwich. TAB CALLAWAY is indeed disadvantaged by having available photography of him only in a Cleveland uniform, in a shot that barely conveys action. On the other hand, it's a real nice Cleveland uniform with no sign of Chief Wahoo.
