They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but in fact it tells a thousand stories. I’ll get to what I mean in a second. Pictures of baseball in particular can strip away the blur of the moment, the heat of your instantaneous passion, and reduce a single baseball moment to a single frame. But what if we captured many moments within one, or: many people watching Chris Carter try to hit?
Carter just lost his job yesterday, and it’s not a surprise why. After being signed as Greg Bird insurance, and then being needed when Bird got hurt, Carter was unable to capture the power he effused last season, hitting a measly eight home runs in 57 games.
