    Oooh... after 17 consecutive votes for 1962, 2018 manages to get on the board. No shutout here.
  2. Benjamin Grimm
    It does. But I guess this two-times-through-the-lineup thing is going to require a 13-man pitching staff.

    Twice before, the Mets have started 8-1: in 1985, when they did not reach the playoffs, and in 2006, when they reached the National League Championship Series. With one more victory, the 2018 Mets would have the best start in franchise history. Those were two hellacious seasons. Look at that July in 1985.

    Sewald?

    Even if he does, the Mets will somehow find a way to win!

    Seventeen votes in so far and this poll is still unanimous. Looks like we may get our first shutout.
  7. Benjamin Grimm
    THAT is very cool!

    He can't be any worse than what we already have. (I don't really mean that. It's just been a while since anyone posted that old chestnut here.)

    This may be one of those urban legends, like the one that says that the Gerber baby is Humphrey Bogart.

    I think it will play out exactly as described above.

    Objectively, that 1962 cover isn't especially pleasing to the eye, but it's just so damned iconic that it has to get the vote over a generic boilerplate grid of action photos. Giving the Mets the "Baby New Year" treatment was an inspired idea. Can you imagine, today, an MLB publication going to press with a drawing of a baby as the cover image?

    In a poll where the margin of victory was less overwhelming than usual, the 1985 cover has bumped the 1994 cover by a score of 11 to 7. ADVANCING TO ROUND TWO: ELIMINATED:

    1962 2018

    What a quiet ballpark. It sounds like they're playing in a public library.

    In Florida, they can carry it openly.

    A Boy Named Seo wrote: Tuesday's starter - Caleb Smith, hard-throwing righty. Acquired from the MFY in the Stanton trade (I'm pretty sure). Talented but raw.

    And now Mickey has matched Joe Torre's seven of eight! I have a feeling he might make it to 161 of 162!

    It will live forever in our hearts.

    Or for Harper to be traded to the American League before July 31. If the season progresses in a way that makes that happen, it will be a very good sign for the Mets.

    2011 has a healthy 13 to 5 lead. I have a hunch that it may end up being the only cover from the current decade to advance to the second round. (2010 and 2017 have already been eliminated, and 2013 and 2016 are currently in dire straits.)
  23. Benjamin Grimm
    It was 2011!
  24. Benjamin Grimm
    The Spanish-language 1992 cover, which probably isn't a yearbook at all and is therefore a likely ringer in this competition, has been eliminated by the 1987 Original Edition, by a resounding score of 18-1. That one vote that the Bonilla cover received saved it from the ignominy of being the first cover to suffer a shutout loss. ADVANCING TO ROUND TWO: ELIMINATED:

    Although I have more affection for Shea than for Citi, I went with 2011. It's a better photo, and 1969 loses points for the creepy floating heads. Both are about the fan experience at the ballpark, but I think 2011 does it better.
