The Gooden shot is fantastic and creative and exciting.



I also really like the Strawberry cover. Lemme tell ya, spring of 1984 was a great time to be a Mets fan.

Yes it was. Here's another Strawberry cover from before the start of the '84 season. This cover was not included in the cover derby.

Dr. K could twist batters into any letter of the alphabet he chose.

Yes it is.


I guess the Sadecki Spot was unavailable.



I know Darryl was an LA guy but that seems like an odd setting for the pic, complete with a Mets on deck circle.

And Darryl in a home uniform. So was the photo shot during the '83 season or in the subsequent off-season being that, I'm guessing, Crenshaw High alum Darryl resided in LA?
