Baty's sleeve going into his batting glove looks like he's rocking some sleek, glamorous opera gloves — far more sexy than the double-chin that Nimmo's laugh is giving him.

A NINTH TO REMEMBER had jumped to a 6-2 lead, but now things are even at 6 votes apiece.

I went BATTY. It seems like Newsday went out of their way to obscure the New York on Nimmo's jersey while the Snooze moved stuff around so you could see it.

Definitely. He could be double-chin happy that he just opened the oven and his sourdough rose perfectly, we don't know.

One of the best games of the season deserved a better cover. I went with Batty.

Frank Springer did a great job on that cover, IIRC.
