There's plenty of leftover wine, and Tarasco usually brings some fun edible refreshments.

Now pick up your eyes & go take an aspirin. Not including him was just me being lazy. Saved cutting out those frames. I did not think it would look so freaky & choppy. I'd like to try that with a much better quality copy of the play. Maybe I have it on a DVD somewhere and can make my own copy. If I do that I'll try it the other way. But frankly, right now, I'm sick of looking at it.

Did you make these animated cards? Wow!!! Take some unlicensed minor leaguers and go to town!

It's more fun playing with the big boys. And, as far as I know, these gif cards will be forced to live forever in the digital realm, never attaining 3-D reality status. I mean, how do you print a .gif?

Okay, sorry, gotta stop hijacking threads with this card BS.
But these two do display some good leather. Describing a catch, that's one thing and always hard to do it justice. I love being able to just show em as well.
I've been meaning to do a gif card of the BallOnTheWall play. Yikes, that'll be a lot of frames.

It's amazing how that collision by Rusty --- which is perhaps my earliest specific baseball memory --- is merely modest by today's standards, but in a world before wall padding ended up being disabling. Heck he probably hit support post there too.

Zvon those cards are great! And I remember Rusty's injury like it was yesterday, yowch!

Remember, Force = Mass X Acceleration.
And Rusty was a lot of mass moving toward that wall.
