NYMag.com is featuring excerpts from Craig Robinson’s new baseball infographic book, Flip Flop Fly Ball, all this week. Today’s compares the NY Post’s back pages from the 2009 baseball season, and how many times the Yankees or Mets were featured. Basically what it says above. Guess who’s featured more. If you’re not aware already, check out Craig’s site here.
I think that the type of headline and whether it’s a positive or negative story is just as important as the appearance itself. For example, as a Mets fan, I’d rather see a back page mentioning a Yankees win instead of a snarky story about another Mets embarrassment.
Then again, I don’t read the Post.
