"I know! Let's shoot Syndergaard from the fellatio perspective!"

Tom Terrific in full command!!

Hmm. Toughie. Hipster Thor loses, but I'm unsure about who wins.

Dwight's motion was pure art. There were very few angles from which his delivery could look ugly. The armpit angle is one of those few.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 16 2019 08:41 AM Re: Magazine Cover Derby Round 1.18

In this round, my vote is for Piazza.

Doc K!

The Gooden cover should be rolling this field. What a crazy-ass angle!

Doc all the way.

Piazza stands as a generational complement to the Best Infield cover of a year earlier. Bought multiple copies of both to have and to share. I was never crazy about that Doc angle, though the "dream" article within was a good concept -- create not only an All-Star team of today's best players, but give them the "best" franchise identity, put them in the "best" ballpark, have them play in front of the "best" fans, clear on to have peanuts sold by the "best" vendor (an Al Lang legend). Doc was their starting pitcher. I prefer Seaver in a hat. Syndergaard with a touch of Harvey there. I hope he at least got ham.

Edgy MD Apr 16 2019 02:55 PM Re: Magazine Cover Derby Round 1.18

There are two types of ham: the ham-u-got and the ham-u-lack.

G-Fafif Apr 16 2019 04:34 PM Re: Magazine Cover Derby Round 1.18

We had Tim Hamulack and Shingo Takatsu in the same month in the same bullpen. The September 2005 Mets surely led the league in Names Above Replacement.
