OPENING DAY!


Opening day!
I love baseball. 
In my next life I would like to play first base for the New York Mets.
One of my biggest thrills in my illustration career was when I received a call from Major League Baseball.
I had the honor of doing illustrations for the 2008 World Series and and Playoff programs.
Each program is in the Baseball Hall of Fame! So in a round about way I made it in!

I still pinch myself thinking about that day.

Different ways players open up champagne bottles

Shea Stadium vs Yankee Stadium


Defense stats
Baseball moves to the West Coast
K Rod vs Bobby Thigpen save record



Back in 2008 I had the plan of creating my own baseball card series of a fictional team called the Hoboken Hackers.
The idea was to send these oversized promotional postcards (8.5x5.5)  as a mailer.
The one and only card I made was  the Hackers aging slugger Crash McGee.
I sent one to an art director at MLB. Mailers do work!
