Tabloid Cover Derby Adjacent Quiz

[Benjamin Grimm]

I decided to leverage (and expand) the collection of tabloid covers used in the Tabloid Cover Derbies and present them as content on the UMDB. I added a bunch of older covers, dating back to 2008, to the collection.



Here are some examples:

http://leaptoad.com/mets/metannual.php?ThisYear=2019&tabno=V&activeMonth=AugustSeason Page



And now, the QUIZ!



Who are the twenty Mets personalities (real humans, Mister Met doesn't count) who have appeared on the most covers since 2008? (Note: The years 2015 through 2021 are more heavily represented, because the years 2008 through 2014 are limited to the Daily News and the Post. No Newsday for those years.)



So let's fill in the blanks. Sixteen of the twenty are players and four have never played for the Mets. Usual guessing rules apply. One guess per post and no additional guesses until someone else has posted, or existing guesses have been acknowledged.
