Boys and Their Balls - Part 41

 Baseball Cards

Here are some more fake baseball cards that I have created, substituting real (but more revealing) photos of the players.

Above is a real baseball card for Houston Astros pitcher Dallas Keuchel.

And here's my fake Dallas Keuchel card, using a photo from the 2018 ESPN Body Issue.

A real card for L.A. Dodgers player Yasiel Puig.

This image from the 2018 ESPN Body Issue fits so perfectly, it's like this was meant to be his baseball card.

Christian Yelich plays for the Milwaukee Brewers.

Here's an 2019 ESPN Body Issue image of him.  ESPN doesn't show frontal views, but sometimes they show nice rear views.

As a bonus, here are some excerpts from a "behind the scenes" video of his ESPN photo shoot.

Grady Sizemore played for the Cleveland Indians.

Apparently he sent someone this selfie.

Giancarlo Stanton now plays for the Yankees, but in 2013 he played for the Miami Marlins.

And here's his 2013 ESPN Body Issue photo.

Nelson Cruz played for the San Diego Padres.

And he posed for the ESPN Body Issue in 2009.

We end with Justin Verlander, who pitches for the Houston Astros.

This selfie of Verlander and model Kate Upton was leaked in 2014.  They later married.

Other leaked photos of Verlander included this shot ...

and this shot.  Gee, I wonder what that would look like on a baseball card?

What do you think?  Too impersonal?

Well, we can fix that.
