Since baseball time is measured only in outs, all you have to do is succeed utterly; keep hitting, keep the rally alive, and you have defeated time. You remain forever young.
–Roger Angell, Once More Around the Park: A Baseball Reader
Just wanted to share a drone tour of Wrigley Field, the fabled home of the Chicago Cubs, that was released yesterday. The team produced this video as an end-of-season gift to their fans and it gives every fan an intimate and fascinating view of the park, inside and out. I would have to believe that this required a tremendous amount of planning and expertise to produce such great results.
It’s a fun watch for even non-baseball fans.
I thought I might try my hand at generating some AI (Artificial Intelligence) images through one of the free online generators. These were from deepai.org. You basically type in a short description of what you would like to see, and they pop up moments later. Sometimes the results surprise you.
I made two requests, one a Picasso painting of Babe Ruth and the other a baseball player in a Van Gogh landscape. I’m kind of partial to the Van Gogh ballplayer.
Anyway, take a tour of old Wrigley this morning.
The drone tour of Wrigley reminded me of the video posted during Fiona by Saildrone: a company that sends waterborne drones out to see what they can see. How about this?
In this instance, I prefer the dry ground, thank you! Terrifying…
Thanks!
One thing I liked about that video s how noone (that I picked out) reacted to the drone as it zipped by in some especially close quarters.
I think a couple of people in the bar waved. But what great planning and discipline to pull every one of those moves off, especially that move in the scoreboard when they flew out just as the worker removed the tile.
Judge finally did it.
I thought maybe nerves were getting to him.
I can’t wait til he signs w/ the Redsox ;o)
He’s gonna become a wealthy guy this off season, either way.
I hope the Redsox Yoyo is on the up swing next season.
might have to get some Welsh footy gear…
Peace bro!

I can’t see Judge going anywhere but if the Yanks somehow screw it up, I think he’ll end up in SF. BoSox got to get their act together, get some pitching and not let Devers or Bogaerts slip away. And, yeah, wasn’t that some peptalk from Michael Sheen? Go, Dragons!
