One of the best infographic artists has an amazing book out there called Flip Flop Fly Ball.
We have talked with and about Craig Robinson in this space before. This time, we bring your attention to a recent project that Craig undertook – building famous baseball players out of Legos.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I know we are supposed to talk about Royals and Cardinals baseball here at i70, but sometimes you reach out and find something fun and baseball related and you just have to share. There are no Royals or Cardinals players in the images below, but there are nine pretty awesome Lego creations of some great players.
Keep an eye over at Flip Flop Flying to track down any more that Craig makes.
Use the controls below to look through the nine images of Pete Rose, Dennis Eckersley, Jose Bautista, Sergio Romo, Randy Johnson, Mark Fidrych, Andre Dawson, Barry Bonds, and Fernando Valenzuela. Please note: all images are the property of Craig Robinson.
