First walk-off hit as a Dodger yesterday ... and his first walk-off in four years? I know the Angels were a bad team when he played there (if you're not winning, you're not getting walk-off hits) but that's still a surprising non-stat.

Not sure if this was noted in the New Yorker thread:

The worst part is, he doesn't even look anything like that

Pure disrespect for his running game
You disapprove? A Pinterest page suggests they've done around 25 baseball covers, most of a general nature. Seems like quite an honour--artists do mess around with details. All that's missing is a Roger Angell piece inside.

Well it suggests he bets on games, which seems borderline libellous

Oh, god, I totally missed that!

I guess you could be charitable and take that as "makes a lot of money"...but you're almost certainly right.

(If they ever got sued, I bet that'd be their defense, though. "Gambling? How so...")

hmm maybe

(I didn't see it as particularly libellous, more an illustration on how shohei's game and the fat stacks of cash surrounding that game are insepperable; ippei-gate just being one product of that)
But Bulb's phrasing for simple and pointed.

I honestly just thought it was a cute New Yorker cover on how he is well paid. Never thought of the others but now it's ambiguous.
Shohei, be careful of your money!

I thought it was a comment on his un-deferred salary (pocket-change) because he is anti-tax.
