That's About The Size Of It

Come May when we’re being told that the Subway Series has run its course, I will point to this as Exhibit S for the defense: The cover of the only locally available 2007 Street & Smith’s Baseball Yearbook. Came upon it in Pathmark last night and nearly spiked the entire detergent section, touchdown-like, out of exhiliration.

Unlike with our well-meaning but wishy-washy friends at Athlon Sports, there’s no Choose One option for the New York market. If you want Street & Smith’s here, you have to buy the magazine with the big Met and the little Yankee, just as I have had to buy the opposite for the past decade.

In the words of Johnny Drama, VICTORY!

Small one anyway. You know, like tiny Mariano down there on your bottom left.

    Looks like Beltran's backswing is gonna pop Fruit Bat's little head clean off.
    That's a shame.

    The first Met to make the cover of Street and Smith's regional edition was Ron Swoboda in 1966.
    Unfortunately, they mispelled his last name as “Swaboda”

    Kind of a weird photo to pick though… he's usually got such a beautiful swing, this one looks all off-balance.
