The New Yorker magazine

Any idea what this cover means,it's from June 1992..anyone here remember this?

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I remember that one!

She seems to be wearing fatigues for shirt sleeves. The only Met I can think of that that would seeemingly refer to is Randy Myers, but he was long gone by 1992.

Fopr some reason, I think there's a Frank Viola reference going on, but he would also be gone. That was a terrible season.

Bill Pulsipher also wore fatigues.

I don't think there was more going on than that good old New Yorker whimsy. I saved that cover. Still have it here somewhere.

Yeah I think you are right Greg..baseball covers are a tradition at the New Yorker, here's what I found..

There was a great one after the A-Rod trade of Yankees in pinstrip suits lining up on the foul line with money pouring out of their pockets, hats, and lapels.

That cover looked vaguely familiar. I have no idea what the fatigues are all about, or what the artist is actually trying to say either. It prompted me to pull out the 2000 New York Mets Memorabilia Checklist that was published by Dave Berman. Dave used have a collectors club and newsletter that was sent out every couple of months, I don't know if it's still in existence. I'd be interested if anyone knows Dave or the status of his club � I let my membership lapse some time ago. He may very well post on the boards for all I know ... that would be pretty funny if he's reading this. Anyway The New Yorker covers didn't make the cut for some reason, maybe because she's not a Met? I put together a list of covers culled from the checklist of Mets who have appeared on non-sports publications over the years (through 2000, of course) because I thought we might find it interesting.
