A sampling of baseball-related headlines from the Newseum, as well as some websites, 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 “Bumgarner MVP”. I’ll occasionally make an exception for the team’s “home” newspapers)
