Ocean Bases Loaded (warning: lotsa pictures)

PrintWhile I was putting away all of the Christmas decorations and crap, I stumbled across a box filled with old stuff from my childhood. It consists of drawings, writings, and homework my sister and I did. Among them was a series of drawings I did of anthropomorphic marine creatures playing baseball. I was likely influenced by the old Bases Loaded games and depicted a series of games. These were drawn in '92, so I was in second grade at the time. Apparently I didn't know how to spell "loaded" yet. I thought you guys would enjoy them, so here you go.

I wonder who that Clark could be?
I'm not sure what Mil. stood for. It could be Millbrae or Milwaukee.
San Bruno is perfectly capable of sustaining a major league team, right? Just build a stadium in the Tanforan parking lot.
The epic finale.

I like how, in the last one, you crossed out the one base name that was correct. Also, the car for pitchers is an awesome idea.
The first six innings are overrated.

Don't be fooled by what you see.
There’s more to this picture than meets the eye.

I'll ask what I'm sure what everyone else is thinking:
Why anthropomorphic marine creatures fish?
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
well, the street sharks were totally jawsome
but as a kid of this era, I drew animal people too. It’s too bad that got ruined for forever by the furries that would come shortly
funny OT aside
at Stanford, one of my close friends took a fiction writing class with Robin Lopez. Apparently, he and Brooke, now twins playing in the NBA, had created their own shared world of stories of anthropomorphic animals, like a Richard Scary book. All of his stories submitted to the class used these characters, and other than them being in animal bodies, they were people for whom they had developed distinctly human personalities.

I was just about to ask about that one.
I also liked “little leagues not here.”
The finale was, indeed, epic.

This is awesome
I was living in San Bruno during this time. I would totally root for the Seagulls. And San Diego Clams makes me laugh.

My boy has mad hops
I rant on Twitter
Dude, fucking awesome.
Don’t you wish you could harness that childhood imagination, like, all the time? For me it was baseball-playing dinosaurs, cause shit and fuck yeah.

Made me laugh.

I love how each team has a logo. I especially like the clams. What are the old “bases loaded” games?

Natto was a better artist in 2nd grade than I've ever been in my whole life
I can remember trying to draw naked ladies as a kid; don’t think they would even arouse those Chilean miners that were trapped underground.

Yes, but his character development is thin. For instance, I’m unclear on the octopus’ motivation for cheating.

Of course not

Awesome Natto
Don't think he can cut it in the bigs? Brock Bond will be the bigger man and walk walk walk away.

Love the clams and the jellyfish
Both gave me a good chuckle but the octopus scene had was the best.

Holy cow.
You had more creativity and the ability to execute it on paper in second grade than I do as an adult!
Thanks for sharing!
