Ben, can we get a display of all the magazine covers that have made it into the Magazine Cover Derby so we can search high and low for the outliers and the latter-day additions?

Re: Magazine Hunt

So RECOVERY is already in the bag.



What are the standards? It seems like:

a) Players should be in their Mets colors.

b) If they aren't, they should be active as Mets.

c) If they aren't, they should be Tom Seaver.

d) If they are retired players, they should be nonetheless on the team's payroll.

e) No official team publications.



I'm not sure if card/collector magazines count.

Re: Magazine Hunt

The Seaver in a Reds uniform cover was an exception because it was about an important story in Mets history.



I'm not so sure about d). If the next edition of U. S. News and World Report had a cover photo of Roberto Alomar in a Mets uniform I would definitely include it, even though Alomar isn't employed by the Mets.



e) Yes, no official team publications.



There are a couple of collectors covers in the batch. A quick scan showed one with Doc Gooden and another one with Nolan Ryan.

Re: Magazine Hunt

All those Seaver covers--thank you for asking and answering.

I thought of the McCall's cover the other day.

Re: Magazine Hunt

Yes, Alomar would qualify on the same terms that Darryl-in-recovery does. But does the Ron Darling dealing-with-diabetes count?



Not an active Mets player, and not in his Mets uniform, but how about a former Met gaining publicity as a current Mets civilian employee? I like counting that. Even team ambassadors, I think, should count.

Yes, I would count that.
