If you didn’t already know @ckamka.bsky.social is an amazing artist, here is his (original) colored pencil imagining of an 1986 Topps Harry Caray.

Satchel’s Wild Ride: How Satchel Paige Finally Made the Hall of Fame – Society for American Baseball Research

55 years ago today, Satchel Paige was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. A few years ago I wrote about the path he took β€” we all took, honestly β€” to this glorious day.

NYC friends: Come see me talk about "Moses and the Doctor" on Thursday in Brooklyn. My editor and agent will be there, three past roommates will be there, heck, maybe it'll be the winter's hottest reading. You won't know unless you show up.

...because if anybody is cover art, she would have to be at the top of the list! I think she is awesome. She is brave and stands up for herself, and expresses herself exactly as she wants to, I admire that a lot. #ChappellRoan #CardArt #BubbleGumPopArt

1957 Topps Juan Pizarro

πŸ‡΅πŸ‡· Juan β€œTerΓ­n” Pizarro was born 89 years ago in Santurce, Puerto Rico. It’s so strange how a player you never saw can come into your life and create such a bond. He is definitely one of my favorite players of all time. It seems like every project I take on, Pizarro is there.

On this day in 1977, John Henry Lloyd was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Known by few today, he was one of the best shortstops in the history of the game. Here’s my painting of β€œEl Cuchara” (before he was known as β€œPop”) with Habana in 1910, based on the photography of RamΓ³n Carreras.

I’m thrilled to share that I am officially working with McFarland & Company on a book (working title): β€œSalΓ³n de la Fama: Immortals from Latin America’s Baseball Halls of Fame.”

My baseball research journey over the last 20 years has been an evolution.
