I might have to do this again sometime. I think I'll try Warren Spahn doing his big leg kick. :)

It Came From the Card Closet~! - Artwork Edition
I never took an art class in high school or college. Just wasn't all that into it. But for some unexplained reason, every once in a while I got the strange urge to draw something, just to see if I could do it. My most ambitious effort was the time I tried to draw a photo of Griffey in mid-swing that was on the cover of Beckett Monthly. It remains the first and only time that I ever attempted to draw textured clothes or a person's face. I recently rediscovered this lost artwork while cleaning out my card closet. In retrospect, I think it's not half bad!

Common Cards, Uncommon Photography III
It's Round 3 in my salute to the cool card photos that all too often go unnoticed. I may have to turn this concept into a "Frankenset" someday. To the cards!
2004 Upper Deck Al Leiter #219:
Gotta work on those fundamentals, even in the big leagues. The ball looks like it is glued to his bat!
1997 UD Collector's Choice Craig Biggio #350:
The first of a trio from 1997 UD Choice. I hope the runner got that knee down, otherwise Craig was about to have a bad day....
1997 UD Collector's Choice Todd Stottlemyre #198:
"I know kung fu."
1997 UD Collector's Choice Omar Vizquel #86:
There's a lot going on in this picture - sweet car, nice awards. But if you're like me, all you're thinking is "what in the hell is up with that shirt??"
1999 Topps Stadium Club Kevin Polcovich #6:
"Must....hold....bag...."
1993 Donruss Triple Play Awesome Action #6:
Brett is coming in a little high. Ty Cobb would be proud.
1999 Topps Stadium Club Mickey Morandini #57:
This is a really cool camera angle, must have been a bunt.
1998 Pinnacle Livan Hernandez #172:
"Hey kid, we need a picture for your baseball card!"
"Huh?"
(click) "Perfect!!"
2000 Topps Stadium Club Lee Stevens #144:
And finally, a photo capturing the good old "3-unassisted" play. I think I just like this one because I'm a first baseman myself.
