11th HEAVEN
Newsday, September 22, 2016.
A come-from-behind 11th inning three-run homer by Asdrubal Cabrera gives the Mets an exhilarating win over the Phillies.



Winner of Round 1.4.7
ALL TOO FAMILIA
New York Daily News, October 6, 2016
Jeurys Familia gives up a three-run homer that gives the Mets a loss in the National League Wild Card Game.

This is the final poll of the second round, and also the final poll that will be posted until after the New Year. The Tabloid Cover Derby will return in early January with the third round, in which our field will be reduced from sixteen covers to eight.

And I have a feeling that this particular poll is going to end up rather lopsided. Arguably the best moment of the season up against the worst.

The Postseason logo in the Familia entry is a nice reminder of how far the Mets got, at least. The Daily News shoving its N.Y.'s #1 claim in the midst of all that is busy/bizarre. Didn't actually need either of them.

A shame those seats behind Asdrubal are mostly empty.

No more clear-cut decision than this one.

It's early yet, but this may turn out to be our first unanimous poll.

Last year we had three polls where there was a lone dissenter:

In Round 2, U DA MAN! defeated HARV DAY'S NIGHT 15 to 1 and CON4TO! defeated AMAZIN' MATZ 14 to 1.







And in Round 3, TEAM OF DESTINY defeated METS TAKE A HIT 11 to 1.

The level of analysis that Benjamin Grimm and the CPF voters bring to this "derby" is wonderful.

Thank you!

And we do, in fact, have our first unanimous decision. The last remaining Jeurys Familia cover is out of the competition, as Newsday's 11th HEAVEN moves to the third round. It's one of five Newsday covers still in the game.
