I’ve been a reader of newspapers for as long as I can remember. Born in the Bronx and raised on Long Island I spent years reading the NYC tabloids and then Newsday.
Now living upstate I read the local paper to see what streets have sinkholes the size of in-ground swimming pools.
I still keep up with the NY papers using their online sites. But in my humble opinion, nothing beats a foldable paper in hand. Here are some headlines I’ve made up, most of which I’d love to see, but know we won’t. The newspaper mastheads are courtesy of Newseum and headlines are my own of course.
1. We’ll start with one fans of Wally Backman would love, even though I just can’t see Alderson tabbing him as the next Mets manager.
2. Here’s one every baseball fan would be thrilled to read. And how about a pill to make hamstring pulls abate?
3. Of all the headlines this would be the one that would please me most.
4. Let’s face it, the Dude has had a fine year but still can’t do squat against a left handed pitcher.
5. I really wonder about this next guy’s future.
6. And as if we could ever afford this guy….
7. I wonder if Juan could make a catch like Willie Mays made on Vic Wertz in the 1954 World Series.
8. This is how Murph rolls…
9. Wishful thinking here. Kevin will be missed.
10. I’ll admit that Wilmer has been better than I thought he’d be at short but…
