I voted Secret Weapon because Nido really earned that cover.

Nice work on the "Squirrel" cover. A photograph that is on more than one cover is downgraded by me although it's hard to overlook what might be our only Billy Hamilton cover. And I'm guessing that "'Cello" will be our only Rick Porcello cover.

This flight of back pages feels as if from a fairly normal baseball season, finally. A welcome sight.

Yeah. Andres the Giant is a terrific headline, layout is not great

I agree. The Post covers are often too cluttered. My favorite here is SECRET WEAPON.

No, it isn't great, but it's strong And a good cover photo. Got my vote.

Looks like I'm the only one who went with OUTTA HERE which makes good use of the Former Great Wall of Flushing as a backdrop, along with a headline that applies to two different ledes. That's a good day for the back-page editor. Everybody change your votes and agree with me.

My objection to the Secret Weapon headline is Tomás Nido has been in the big leagues since 2017 and is hardly a secret to anybody paying attention.

Yeah, that's a weapon that's fired a lot of blanks.

I liked "Andres the Giant" and "wrestling the rubber game away", but ultimately that cover is probably too crammed full of stuff to go the distance. I love the photo on "OMG!" but really, OMG? Nice to have some options, though.

Good for Andres. And good for The Post. Look at how his hands bust out of the frame and cast a slight drop shadow on the text behind them. It's Zvon-riffic.
