Thanks to Will for pointing this one out….Yesterday I was suspicious about the Koosman cover in a year they wound up trading Seaver. Â Will let me know there was a revised yearbook…with a different cover! Â I don’t know of any other instances of that happening…does anyone?
What’s the conspiracy here? Â Get Koosman off the cover in case we trade him too! Â People will love Joe Torre in 25 years, let’s get in front of it!
Joe looks like someone just walked in his office and proposed trading Seaver and Kingman. Â “No, really, what did you come in here to tell me?”
Joe’s gonna look like crap in a black Mets jersey come April.
Note the price is $1 and they traded Seaver. Â This will be relevant tomorrow.
I’m sure there were other years with “revised editions,” because I bought them when I was a kid. Although it was way before my time, I bought two different 1963 yearbooks on a late ’70s trip to Cooperstown – one was called “Revised” and the other was called “Final Revised.”

As far as I can remember, the 1977 revised edition was the only one with a different cover. Perhaps another Mazzilli-era fan can shed some light on this.
An email says 1990 switched from a Davey cover to a Buddy. Unconfirmed.
As a Mazz era fan I don’t recall any cover switch outs. I have both 1982s. Same cover.
