A couple of new offerings on First Inning Artworks might be of interest to some of the baseball fans out there.

These are part of a series of four paintings -- pen and ink and watercolor -- that examine and celebrate the players in turn-of-the-20th century uniforms. The site currently has two of the paintings showing and two more will appear later this week.

Back then, baseball was pretty much over by this time of year, so we are the lucky ones to have the season extended into October. The National League pennant winner is still to be determined, and then there will be the World Series. An old time baseball team, the Detroit Tigers, are already in. Let's hope they get a worthy opponent from the National League.
