1. Corn field: Obviously, it's a "Field of Dreams" reference.
2. Rocky Mountains: I've yet to see a more beautiful backdrop for a baseball game than the view you get at Coors Field.
3. 1919 Chicago White Sox: The "Eight Men Out."
4. Wrigley Field ivy-covered outfield wall: I didn't draw the adverts for Under Armour because they're not paying me $2 million a season to do so. Should they want to change this, I'm welcome to offers.
5. George Brett: Shits his pants "twice a year."
6. Schaefer beer sign and Bulova clock: Signage from above the scoreboard at Ebbets Field.
7. Ted Williams: I could watch footage of him playing for hours.
8. Robin Yount: The kind of surname that one could spend ten minutes trying to persuade someone that it IS a word during a Scrabble game.
9. NL and AL standings flags: Standings (mostly) correct on the day I drew them, 31 May 2009. (I messed up and put San Francisco and San Diego the wrong way around, but can't be bothered to re-do the animation.)
10. Fenway Park scoreboard: Full of even more references. the abbreviations for teams represent the New York Knights (from "The Natural") and Mudville (from "Casey at the Bat"). Pitchers are Randy Johnson (see No.12) and Warren Spahn. Honus Wagner is at bat.
11. Willie Mays: Caught a ball once.
12. Randy Johnson: For services to avicide.
13. Old Yankee Stadium batter's eye: Just a bunch of painted-black bleachers.
14. Kauffman Stadium floodlights: My favourite stadium that I've not yet visited.
15. Home Run Apple: The big apple that came out of a hat after a Mets home run at Shea Stadium.
16. Jackie Robinson: We don't need to write anything here, do we?
17. Dodger Stadium scoreboard: No idea what the name of that shape is. Kind of a hexagonal lozenge or something. Very beautiful, though.
18. George Herman "Babe" Ruth: Built a stadium. With his own bare hands.
19. Sadaharu Oh: The Beastie Boys got more hits than him.
20. Durham Bull sign: Not the one seen in "Bull Durham," but the one actually used at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
21. Sausage Race: A race between five mascots in the middle of the sixth inning at Milwaukee Brewers home games. Left to right: a chorizo, hot dog, Italian sausage, Polish sausage, and a bratwurst.
