This one goes 13 innings

Two cartoon characters, with a 1997 film butting up against a 1984 film.

I admire how the photo compositor made Grimace's legs appear almost believably between the door and the safety chain.

Two cartoon characters?

Look at those two cover subjects. Don't tell me either of those are real people.

Jesse Winker for the win and maybe the tournament.

I didn't realize until just now that the Grimace cover was a play on Purple Rain.

Really, I've been singing Purple Rain for 2.5 hours now

Last year, the Post's strongest entry was FORCE OF JULY (July 3, 2023), which made it to the Final Four before losing to eventual winner THEY DON'T GOT IT. This year, while LUIS ARM STRONG is still alive in the competition, Vegas oddsmakers are rating HAIR FORCE WON! as the Post's best shot at winning their first championship. The New York Post appears to have found some magic in the word FORCE.

Hats off (or whatever they wear on top of their heads in Stockholm) to the TCB team for providing a historical perspective to the current competition.
