Too much good stuff, out there.
Between starting a new job and getting used to the new schedule and wanting to accumulate some new posts (whole lot of new, going on), I've been putting this one off for a bit. But I've seen some fantastic photographers, writers, and artists out there, and I'd like to share some of the best with you.
Let's start with RIP Baseball (Twitter link here), who covers one of my favorite categories of study in baseball: how and when ballplayers died. Sounds weird, on the surface, but there are some outlandish stories out there, especially those involving quite a few of the earliest players. If you've got an interest in baseball necrology, I highly recommend his website.
Next is photographer Chris Tejeda, known as @fotogenocide_ on IG and @Fotogenocide_ on Twitter. Tejeda took one of my favorite photos of 2019 (find it here) with Tim Anderson in the foreground and the scoreboard behind him at Guaranteed Rate Field, and about a million other outstanding shots as well. He also took a fantastic shot of the iconic Anderson bat flip (bat throw?), a moment which made the rounds about a thousand times back in April of last year.
Lou Schiff, Esq., is the owner of #BaseballandtheLaw (Twitter link), whose work covers another favorite area of research of mine, that being, well...baseball and the law. He tweets with regularity about such subjects as drugs in baseball, Sunday baseball (it used to be illegal to play on Sunday, folks), and, of course, legal matters related to baseball in one form or another. Here's a tweet concerning one sad fan's $10 million lawsuit vs. ESPN and multiple other related parties for making fun of him after he fell asleep during a televised game. His book, Baseball and The Law: Cases and Materials, is on Amazon (and my reading list).
That's it, for now. Hopefully, I can keep this a regular weekly post, because I've got lots of other folks whose work I'd love to share.
