The 21st century cure to ballpark design blues
Here comes a fresh look at stadium design, via j-walkblog.com.
In response to Nick’s complaint that all the new baseball stadiums look the same, I present Liz Hickok, an artist who works with Jello.
Behold her rendering of the ballpark in Scottsdale, AZ.

Baseball stadiums have survived a few trends. First there was the “cement donut” phase. Now there is the “retro” phase. Could the jello phase be next?Check out more of Liz Hickok’s art at lizhickok.com.

But then, noshing on my reuben [...]

The ugliest unis in the game today…we report, you decide.
The baseball uniform is something of a curiosity. I think we can all agree that baseball did the world a favor by bringing us the baseball cap. But in what other sport are players required to wear a thick belt, tapered white stretch pants, a glorified pajama top, and stirrups?!
Nonetheless, some baseball [...]
