A game of beauty: Part III

Unlike the previous posts, this set wasn't inspired by a single quote. Instead it was influenced by the Dodgers return to winning baseball. Through my joy in the boys in blue, I made the following set, which I call "Negative Feedback."

A game of beauty: part II

Last week I was inspired by a Jimmy Cannon quote, this week it was Art Hill.

With those who don't give a damn about baseball, I can only sympathize. I
do not resent them. I am even willing to concede that many of them are
physically clean, good to their mothers and in favor of world peace. But
while the game is on, I can't think of anything to say to them. ~Art Hill

This quote is notable because I tried to think of a topic to converse on with a non-baseball fan. The only thing I could think of, is describing why it is the greatest game of them all. But that would be far too much effort for someone who doesn't even give the game a chance, plus the game is on.

A Game of Beauty

Earlier today I read the following quote. This quote is notable for two reasons; firstly because it's true and secondly because it inspired me to do the following photos. In each I tried my best to convey the quote, enjoy.

It is the best of all games for me. It frequently escapes from the pattern of sport and assumes the form of a virile ballet. It is purer than any dance because the actions of the players are not governed by music or crowded into a formula by a director. The movement is natural and unrehearsed and controlled only by the unexpected flight of the ball. --Jimmy Cannon
