Bringing back neon players

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Interesting story about one man's mission to bring back updated, smaller versions of the Shea neon players to Citi.

Even in the minimalist designs, it's easy to ID the player he is saluting! Love the Carter, especially!

I don't really see Gary Carter. Is there a popping-up-for-an-out not pictured?

[Edgy MD]

Owitch.



I'm gonna make some of my own.

Message for first-timers: Put more than five minutes into it.

The upside is that I probably have a good job waiting for me with the police department.

My first look tells me Rey Ordonez. If that's wrong, it doesn't matter,

because all threads eventually lead to Rey Ordonez. Or Big Ralph's ass.

I forget.

[Edgy MD]

Good job.

My next one will be Big Ralph's ass in neon.

That's a depiction of that time when two players suddenly started making out on 2nd base, right?

[TransMonk]

Seeing Rey lay out like that made me think of these guys.

I probably should have thought of that one, but I didn't and so decided to be a wise ass instead.

That does look rather ... intimate ... in neon form.

[kcmets]

So, is there like a neon app or you guys winging it? lol

I hand traced with Gimp — a free alternative to PhotoShop.

Asked VQGAN+CLIP to try it's hand at it. This started as a picture of deGrom
