Milwaukee Brewers master uniform lettering, 1993. This was the last design job I did via traditional methods, just as digital technology was beginning to really take hold.

Out today on Prime and a couple theatres is CAPTURING BIGFOOT, a documentary about the 1967 Paterson-Gilmlin film. Besides conclusively showing the film was a hoax (they found the smoking gun), it expertly tells the incredible family/friend drama it created. One of the best docs I’ve ever seen.

I was thrilled when the last playing era Venezuelan card/sticker I needed of Jose Bracho was posted on eBay at a superb price. I used the opportunity to pick up three more legends of Venezuelan baseball. My collecting has definitely focused on guys in the book lately. A bit about each:

Nothing could’ve prepared me for the ad read of the century from the Brewers radio broadcast after that Christian Yelich go-ahead single:

We’re visiting my son at Syracuse University. Yesterday, he went on a field trip to La Casita Cultural Center and did a double-take when he saw photos of George Crowe and Jim Gilliam. Turns out, they have an exhibit on Latin American baseball that has been running since 2016.

Proud to have some of my captures from the WBSC Women’s Baseball World Cup Group Stage featured in this issue.
