A sampling of baseball-related headlines from the Newseum, with the occasional note from me on what they are talking about:
(Note that I try to copy the style of the paper as well, hence why some are in ALL CAPS while others aren’t. Also, I ignored extremely basic-and extremely common- headlines like “Giants win” or “Game 5 Tonight”. I’ll occasionally make an exception for the team’s “home” newspapers)
Headline: Giants win Game 4 big, tie up series.
San Francisco Chronicle: After the rain, Giants pour it on
Kansas City Star: FRISCO MELT
Appeal-Democrat (Marysville, CA): Fit to be tied
Modesto Bee: On the big stage, little things count
The Herald (Monterey, CA): EVENING IT UP
Oakland Tribune: GIANTS 2-2 GOOD (also the headline in San Jose and other affiliated papers)
Sacramento Bee: Bochy goes with gut, brings Giants back from the brink
Marin Independent Journal (San Rafael, CA): MAUL BALL
Santa Cruz (CA) Sentinel: GIANTS’ BATS COME ALIVE TO TIE SERIES
The Record (Stockton, CA): Ushering his way to a dream (on a SF Giants usher from Stockton)
The Hawk Eye (Burlington, IA): Royals flush
Lawrence (KS) Journal-World: REDEMPTION TONIGHT
St. Joseph (MO) News-Press: ROYALS LET THE GIANTS SLIDE BY IN CRUSHING DEFEAT
Vanguardia (Saltillo, Mexico): IMPONEN RESPETO EN SU CASA (Something along the lines of the “Imposing respect in their house” or “Command respect at home”, referring to the Giants)
