Coming Soon
As my final project with The Baseball Card Blog, I've decided on an epic. In the spirit of my previous adaptation (see below for an abridged, baseball-card version of A. Bartlett Giamatti's "The Green Fields of the Mind"), I will be setting Ernest Thayer's classic poem "Casey at the Bat" to cards. It seems like a fitting way to end things.
I haven't decided yet if I should post it all at once, or in serial format and then all together when it's finished. I can tell you this, it will take a bit of time to assemble. I also only have a tentative lineup of cards to include. So, if there are cards you think I should include in this, leave a comment to this post.
Obama & Ginter
Punk Rock Paint has some of the best fake Allen & Ginter mockups I've ever seen. "Team Orange vs. the Shark" is fantastic, as is this one of soon-to-be President-Elect Barack Obama.
By the way, how many days into Obama's term before the word 'Obamanomics' is coined?
