A wall makes a return, albeit an out-of-town wall.

Best cover with Pete flexing
Best cover using "de" pun.

I'm alone in going for BROTHERLY UGH.

Bad punning and it's a stretch to twist that pun into the narrative of the story even if it does work, but I like the layout at lot. And I like Alonso hooking his thumbs into his back pockets like a septuagenarian manager.

I love the pose of "Dealing." That's a classic pitching pic.

Is Crash & Burn the first fence picture not to advance?

No, there was one other, FIRST IMPRESSION, from the Daily News, but it was in the same batch as THAT'S ALMORA, so only one of the two covers could advance.
