Living a short walk from the San Francisco Giants’ ballpark for over a year has made me loosen my grip on my loathing of baseball. You still couldn’t pay me to watch a whole game on television, but put me in a bleacher seat with a hot dog and a cold beer and some good friends and I can feign entertainment. I might even enjoy it a little.

Today things changed though, when I came across these vintage Japanese baseball cards from the collection of John Gall, art director for Vintage and Anchor Books, via ajourneyroundmyskull. I thought to myself, “Now this could actually make me like baseball.”
