pitchers: career choices involving baseballs and clay



When I was ten my friends and I played baseball night and day.  Then I pestered my father to play baseball when the other kids had dinner.  I had a (for a ten year old, on my block) good eye, and liked to pitch... I imagined being a pitcher one day... fast forward, and that impulse came up against a far BIGGER dream...of making pitchers!  I love pitchers and love clay, baseball never had a chance ;)

  1. Am I ever glad you did the pitchers in clay...and pictures of them too. The finger helped bring things into scale...though I'm pretty sure the middle pic shows much bigger pitchers!
