- We now interrupt this cover to bring you the telekinetic powers of Curt Flood!
- It's like Curt willed the ball to stop with his mind. "If you want the game to start again, I have some ... demands."
- Curt Flood with the rarely seen Self-Photobomb!
- This cover seems both ill-conceived (you're blocking the shot!) and genius (Curt Flood will not be denied!)
- Vida Blue's intro is good. Also, Vida Blue is one of the greatest baseball names of all time.
- Man, people are throwing a lot of shade at Jim Bouton.
- Back when a "sensitive, artistic black man" was apparently some kind of wonder to the NYT...
- Miguel Cabrera's breakfast costs $100,000. All ballplayers should tithe to the Church of St. Flood.
