    There's still one other Post cover in the mix: SEEDS OF LIFE, which currently holds an 11-4 lead over Newsday's IN A PINCH in poll 3.2.1.

    This is a tough one, but I went with the Gsellman cover.

    I've learned that if you accidentally refer to this movie as "Hidden Fences" then you may be considered a racist.

    Tomorrow we'll see the final poll from Round 3, the long-awaited matchup between WET & WILD! and 11th HEAVEN. After that, we'll take a break for a few days before Round 4 gets underway. At the conclusion of the fourth round, our Final Four will have been established.

    The Odd Couple is much further down on that list than it ought to be.
  14. Benjamin Grimm
    I wasn't aware of these! Silly, but fun!

    I voted for SIGH OF RELIEF. It's a rather ordinary cover, but SULTAN OF SWAAT is too cluttered. I don't like when the headline obscures the player as it does in this cover.

    Winner of Round 1.2.2 Winner of Round 2.2.4 SULTAN OF SWAAT New York Daily News, May 12, 2016. Noah Syndergaard slugs two home runs in a 4-3 win over the Dodgers in Los Angeles. Winner of Round 1.2.8 Winner of Round 2.2.1 SIGH OF RELIEF Newsday, June 22, 2016. Bartolo Colon leaves the game with an injury after facing only one batter, but Hansel Robles and the Mets pen lead the Mets to a 2-1 win over the Royals.

    HAMMERS & THOR means, I think, that the Mets won with a combination of hitting (bats = hammers) and Syndergaard's pitching.

    There is no specific criteria that needs to be applied when voting for a cover. It's just the one you "prefer", for whatever reason.
  20. Benjamin Grimm
    I have a memory of Susan Lucci talking to Keith Hernandez about "that game" without seeming to really relate to its significance. Am I remembering right?

    I did a little Googling about Raymond Davidson just now. Apparently he did watercolor illustrations for the New York Times and The New Yorker. I found one web page where a painting he did of a young Dwight Gooden was valued at around $300. (This estimate was provided three years ago.)
  23. Benjamin Grimm
    I agree, except that it's losing!
  24. Benjamin Grimm
    I voted for SEEDS too, mainly for its uniqueness.
  25. Benjamin Grimm
    I'm as perplexed as you are. I think Newsday has produced some beautiful covers, but this isn't one of them.
