Was George Springer a Met last year and we didn't notice? Who is that in the upper left hand corner next to Davis? It looks just like Springer. Maybe Fernando Vina?

I think that's Billy Hamilton (1 for 22 as a Met). He pinch-ran for McNeil and scored before Rosario. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYA/NYA202008282.shtml

Went with gloomy Nope over festive Oh, just seems fitting for 2020.

I don't recall Hamilton with short hair at all. Looking at the faces on this page: http://ultimatemets.com/metannual.php?ThisYear=2020 Could it be Ali Sanchez?

Yeah I think it's "The Greatest" Ali

OH, WHAT A NIGHT had a better story and a better photo, but they went overboard on overlappping, left too much photo-noise around the text and used a forced reference from a 45-year-old song about a 57-year-old sexual encounter.

OH, WHAT A NIGHT is also the last surviving cover that relates the outcome of a baseball game.

Loved the upbeat "Oh!" over the gloom.
