Two good ones but the clever Newsday caption perfectly matches the picture.

Something you don't normally see photographed. While the Cookie Monsters cover has a clever headline, the picture is common. It could be of any righty pitcher in any game.
The This Much cover has more going for it.

COOKIE is a pretty great looking cover overall. They got an incredible action shot that fills the page. Headline doesn't dwarf or cover the subject, and the name of the paper even falls behind Carrasco's head giving it depth in layers. The white font even works to not overwhelm everything and there's not a bunch of extra shit about the Knicks or the Rangers or whoever crowding up the page. The headline itself is just fine, though. Can't have it all.
