Today is the second day that we've doubled up, with two new threads on the same day. This is probably the last time this will happen. The plan is, from here forward, to do one new poll each morning. (The exception is in the semi-final round, when both polls are traditionally kicked off on the same day. But I'm sure you already knew that!)

Speaking of large babies, my dad weighed 13 lbs at birth, and Grandma still had another baby after him, Uncle Tommy

Tears and Rooting for Tom



And there is no way I'm voting for that ugly mug Harper so I hope his covers peter out soon

Stupidest cover thus far!!

[kcmets]

Steps Away, Tears and Open Stance for me...

[Centerfield]

Seaver Steps Away is heartbreaking. Such a classic Seaver pose. Made me sad all over again.

[Guest 41Forever]

Had to go with Tom for all three.

[G-Fafif]

SEAVER STEPS AWAY is not only reportorial and dignified, the photo is from Spring Training for a story that broke during Spring Training. Coincidental, I imagine, but it adds to the poignancy.



By contrast, the Post characteristically presents emotionally manipulative crap.
