Now we're talking! Love both of these. Went with Redemption!

I went for the first one, but I don't think we need the quotey-quotes around "GHOST."

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Regular-season tabloids beat preseason when all else is equal. That was a crappy Subway Series between 2 going-nowhere clubs.

It was still a game-winner against the MFYs and that's cover-winner worthy regardless of anything else.

[Edgy MD]

I generally vote against spring training-based covers because it's often a mismatch when an off-brand spring training uni top goes head-to-head against the real deal.



Here they have a jersey that's part of the regular-season rotation despite its springtime provenance, but they had to go and give Senga a silly-string insignia on his cap.
