Cal Bear Baseball of 1898 in Living Color

Today's project, colorize a team photo of the 1898 University of California baseball nine.


I've had this team photo of the Cal baseball team for sometime, salvaged from the 1900 Blue and Gold, the Cal yearbook. The team went 6 and 6 that year, with wins over such west coast powerhouses as Fireman's Fund and Alumni. In the true test of season success, the Cal nine won 1 of 3 against Stanford. The colors are conjecture on my part, but I think blue and gold seems like a reasonable combination.


This will find a home on a cigarette case in the near future, possible some other products.

San Francisco Giants on Twitter

Since I nothing else to do to fill every waking hour, I've taken it upon myself to feed SF Giant updates to twitter. I'm doing this through a new twitter account at GiantsofSF. I encourage all who want to keep up to date on the Giants to follow GiantsofSF on twitter. I've also got it feeding into the sidebar here at Gnu Makins.
I'll try to give updates within all games, but can't go so far as doing play-by-play. And I'll be including a news feed for DL info and stuff like that.
