11th HEAVEN

A come-from-behind 11th inning three-run homer by Asdrubal Cabrera gives the Mets an exhilarating win over the Phillies.

Riding the flying bat all the way to Stockholm!

Two great ones but the Newsday entry is a smaller picture (separate box for the name of the paper). That was one of the best moments of the year but we're voting on the cover and the combination of the flip, the look at the bench (I think), and his coolness (not even smiling) make that the winner.

[Lefty Specialist]

Wow, toughie. Went with Ces.

[Ceetar]

as stated earlier the '11th heaven' headline is dumb.

Ces Boom Bah isn't great but it seems to tie better into the narrative woven by the two pictures. There's more of a story there, it's more than 'cool photo, quick think of a headline, go'. Even the 'Cespedes saves Mets' tells a deeper story than simply 'Cabrera wins in walkoff'

[Guest themetfairy]

These are my two favorites of the entire derby.

The discussion of the empty seats in 11th Heaven in the last round convinces me that, overall, Ces Boom Bah! is the better cover.

[Centerfield]

Yeah right? The empty seats. Plus everything bmfc wrote.

Boom!
