You need to make that picture.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
I have neither talent nor access to software that would do such a thing.
The lack of software can be overcome, but the talent thing cannot.
Same here,
but the thought of the whole thing is making me laugh like crazy.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
Now mix that with the baseball pic somehow!

I forget why I know this
but that song is actually called The Telephone Rag. That existed prior to the cartoon. They wrote Michigan Rag for it I think. Another old song in that cartoon was The Great McCloskey’s Fight. Which is racialist, yo.

The song is from way back in 1899

I primarily use select > color range and the modify selection dialogue to get the basic shape.
Then I quick mask (q) as needed to clean up the edges and finish off by selecting the content (ctrl + click on the layer in the layers palette) and apply a very small feather and a 1 or 2 pixel smooth.
For something like that picture it takes about 5 – 8 minutes to get a decent cutout.

Doing this for real is a goldmine of images just as good as the one in this thread. Nyjer Morgan is somehow special.
Seriously.
Griffey!
He's basically like that all the time in the field.
It’s incredibly fun to watch, except when he gets carried away with enthusiasm and airmails a throw past the cutoff man, allowing the runners to advance. Which happens more than it ought to.
I am utterly astounded
That the guy can strike a pose that fits so damned well into EVERY picture in existence.

The back story I like to give them is as follows: It’s the bottom of the 8th, these two guys spot their prey without a mate. Peroxide Blonde Giant and Drunken Adult Pig-Pen descend from their cheap seats right after this lady’s dude has gone to the bathroom. Now they are negotiating a salacious three-way as a last ditch effort.
Peroxide Blonde Giant: “Let’s go man, I got the ice cream. We’ll look like we bought the same thing. It’s our in!”
Drunken Adult Pig-Pen: “I bet she smells like red gummi bears.”
Peroxide Blonde Giant: Would you put down the damn beer, you’ll scare her off."
Drunken Adult Pig-Pen: “No way, she’ll have to take me as I am.”
What luck, she’s into it.

Could help you clean it up. Fantastic idea though.
You can't be a catcher if you can't catch. Rob Johnson will henceforth be listed as a traffic cone on the roster.
Now do one with him in the Sgt. Pepper picture
he’d probably fit well in place of the doll front and center.
