When my Father died suddenly in the fall of 2009, I lost my baseball pal. No longer did I have someone to talk about obscure players and trade baseball trivia with, so I started drawing these cards and writing these stories as a way of continuing that friendship with my Pop and sharing it with others. There is no complete set, it will go on forever, each card and story representing a unique and interesting baseball player, from Negro Leaguers and obscure semi-pro players to hall of famers when they were in the minor leagues. I aim to shine a light into baseball's forgotten corners, just like I did with my Pop.
I run my own design and illustration shop in Northern Kentucky. To say I am a big baseball fan would be an understatement. When my Father died suddenly this past fall, I lost my baseball pal. No longer did I have someone to talk about obscure players and trade baseball trivia with. I started this blog and card set as a way of continuing that friendship and sharing it with others.
