Dan Piraro Plays Ball

In 1997, cartoonist Dan Piraro decorated a baseball with no fewer than three drawings. Today this Bizarro ball is being sold off from "one of the best cartoonists-drawn-on-baseball collections in the world." That's an ungainly phrase, so I think we should shorten the name of this collection to "cartoonists' balls."

EBay Item Description

Note: How does one celebrate the World Series? Why, by reviewing my archive of baseball posts, of course!

You can be forgiven if you didn't realize that Dan Piraro has been seen on the blog before.

Does Garfield deserve equal time? See him in the 2005 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade where you won't see a Bizarro balloon.

The 2005 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

These photos of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade were taken by me on November 24, 2005 from an apartment overlooking Columbus Circle in New York City. The high vantage point will be unfamiliar to most viewers. It gives a good sense of the scale of the event, and it's great to see how many people enjoy the parade from viewing stands,balconies, windows, and the street. These photos and videos represent only a small selection of the balloons and floats and they were taken during the latter part of the Parade that day.
