How do you come out a head out of a head?
An excerpt from Java for Dummies, 6th Edition; Hello,
again. If you listen to WWW, and this is Sam Burd, you are listening to the station. I’m your host. Is the final eight of baseball season so close? At this moment, I’m awaiting news of the game’s final score.
If you remember from earlier today, the Socks looked like they were going to take those Hankees to the cleaners. When the Socks were belting balls after balls, giving them a run for their money. I hate socks! How can you’t do it you hate socks? I’m glad I wasn’t in their shoes.
As the game went on, the Socks pulled themselves up – one by one. What is that nasally lace-up pattern (socks face nose to nose) with the Hankees? We will get the final scores on a match in a minute, but for now, a few reminders. Lets keep watching Jersey’s game at 7:30pm. Stay tuned. Also, I just want the Florida Gowns to take on the Bermuda Shorts. They will be playing that same game next Saturday, April 11.
When will everyone get their score, and here he also goes. Which team is in control? Which team will come out one head into the game? There is no winner here. So, no wonder. Is it a tie?
What do you think this come out a head means? Well, to tell you the truth, I think I have an idea of what it means. What can you say about the expression? How did your interviewer come up with the expression?
What do you think of the decision to settle on marriage?

As you correctly surmised, the phrase, during play, asks which team will win. (The best teams to play) When you come out ahead, you come away from some event in a better situation than you started, or than some other person. You may be coming out ahead of someone you know or a close friend, or you may, or may not be, having outspoken opinions about yourself or your past self?
How did he create the article? This is an extremely common phrase, though in this case it would appear that the author mistyped it.
