Dotes from the Weekend: Magic Bats
I really like it when a baseball bat is referred to as a “wand.” I also like the name “Wandy.” I don’t know why; some words just strike a mind as funny — like honk, or Blastorama, or cheesepipe.
This weekend’s MLB games provided at least two photographic instances wherein a magic-based nickname was particularly applicable:
“Bat, I command you: hover afore my zombie posture!”
Tyler Greene’s Bat, A Metaphor
Neither Photoshop nor any other editing software was used in the construction of these images — though smoke, mirrors, and/or David Blaine might have been.
I love that Greene picture. If a major leaguer went a full plate appearance without a bat in hand, faux swinging at strikes, I would die from laughter. How can we make this happen?
