Description

In the early 1970s, Mike Mandel photographed
prominent photographers and photography historians, curators, and critics as
baseball players. Each subject was asked to fill out a statistical sheet, like
those that appear on the back of traditional baseball cards. Their answers,
often humorous, reflect both their knowledge of baseball as well as their
perception of themselves in the world of photo “all-stars.”
