I hate to admit it, but I like the blue Dodgers “vendor pennant.” I can’t remember seeing a pennant with the same color body, spine and tassels before.
Seaver at the end was great (be sure to tell Bart).  |
Lots to address here...
1. Yes! That Dodgers pennant with the Batter in front of the Coliseum is super unique.
2. The "flesh tone" thing is something that's always fascinated me. In the case of the back-to-back White Sox, it doesn't pop out at first glance. But even I messed it up on the video... In addition to missing his face, the blue version left out the flesh tones on his hands, and even the infield dirt! So an entire screening step was missed when they omitted the beige colored paint.
3. I'll tell Bart that you liked the Tom Seaver part at the end. I actually lost sleep over this, and texted Bart that I blew it by saying the '69 Mets had no real star players. He came up with (and executed) this solution to end the video. If you watch a few of the other videos, you'll see he used similar animated techniques with Don Mossi, Babe Ruth and even the Willard Mullin NY Giant!
4. Thanks for watching!
