My publishing company is months away from releasing a beautiful book celebrating the photographic origins of the great baseball culture in SE Texas. The book is mainly comprised of photos dating to before 1930 and is organized on a county by county basis. The archive of images is astounding in every way. The images will be enhanced with vintage baseball imagery and graphics. The largest share of profits from sales of the book, on a per book basis, will primarily benefit youth baseball groups throughout the region. If you or someone you know would like to contribute images for use in the publication, please PM me or you can write to me at [email protected]

Really hope you can Austin1985. Introduce yourself to me by the artwork. I'll be the tall guy with a shaved head and having guests sign in on a 1/3 scale copy of the print. You'll get a reduced size souvenir copy of the print, as will all guests. Forgot to mention that among the individual great players featured on the print are SE Texas greats Bubba Snith of Beaumont Charlton-Pollard, Warren Wells of Beaumont Hebert, Emmitt Thomas of Angleton Marshall and Otis Taylor of Houston Worthing.
