I'm beginning to appreciate the goofiness of the Art of Pitching cover. I don;t think I've voted for it yet but just might this time

[Benjamin Grimm]

This poll is the last chance for both Seaver and Strawberry in this competition. .

Can't vote. Love themboth

As goofy as it is, I just feel like "The Art of Pitching" reflects too much of Seaver's arrogant side.



Mr. Long Ball really captures the apex of the stored energy of a fully coiled Straw, with none of his focus lost. It's also hella intimate for a game photo. If you get a clear shot of Straw that tight, it's usually batting practice shot in one of those blue softball jerseys.

Went with Mr. Smock.

Peak Straw won me over.

[Guest 41Forever]

Went with Seaver, who I think is being more playful than arrogant here.
