    Richie Hepburn? I'm not sure if you actually meant to type "Katharine" or "Audrey" there.

    Fun fact about the McCall's cover... This is the original image, before some sharp-eyed editor realized that they had had Tom pose with the wrong Nancy! http://leaptoad.com/mets/covers/images/magazines/other_tom_and_nancy.jpg>

    I voted for Tom and Nancy, mainly because that cover almost literally screams its publication date. The wallpaper clinches it.

    I assumed it had something to do with Mike Plawecki.

    There's also Babe Ruth going to the Boston Braves.

    I'm going to be traveling until the middle of next week, so I won't be able to post box scores to the UMDB, which means that Schaefer voting for the next few games will be delayed, probably until next Thursday. I expect that I'll be able to post the Magazine Cover Derby polls, however, because I've already saved them as drafts and can post them from my phone.

    What G-Fafif said! For a variety of reasons, the players of today are never likely to have that aura of legend that players from the early- to mid-20th Century had. We see too much of them. We know too much about them. And baseball isn't what it used to be. It no longer stands out as much as it once did now that our culture has so much additional white noise.

    =Centerfield post_id=10876 time=1558617603 user_id=65] I think the Mays thing is just a function of age. If you were there, it's special to you. I wasn't. So I can't figure out why watching a washed up Mays play out his last days would be anything special. Maybe for converted Giants fans? I mean, if an old Mike Trout finished his career with a 130 games in a Mets uniform and put up a mid .700's OPS, I think it would be ridiculed more than revered.

    So you were the one vote for "Ron Darling Tries Harder"?

    =G-Fafif post_id=10569 time=1558387482 user_id=55] Header for May 18 on the current ballot should read Marlins 2 Mets 0.

    Benjamin Grimm wrote: In the category of number of games managed, Mickey Callaway still trails those of his predecessors who managed more than one season but fewer than two. If he sticks around, he'll start moving up on the list: Bud Harrelson 274 George Bamberger 208 Joe Frazier 207 Jeff Torborg 200 Mickey Callaway 199 Frank Howard 116 Roy McMillan 53 Salty Parker 11 Mike Cubbage 7 Well, Mickey stayed around long enough to pass Torborg, Frazier, and Bamberger. That's something, I guess. Bud Harrelson 274 Mickey Callaway 209 George Bamberger 208 Joe Frazier 207 Jeff Torborg 200 Frank Howard 116 Roy McMillan 53 Salty Parker 11 Mike Cubbage 7
