Boy are these two covers so structurally similar. I gave the slight edge to Polar Bare because the wordplay was better, I thought.

And to tell you the truth, on that back page cover, Alonso doesn't look so much like the MLB baseball-crushing stud that he actually is. He looks like an uncoordinated guy who'd have trouble hitting in tee-ball.
