Man are there a lot of books about baseball. A quick search on Amazon showed 6,516 and on my trip to the local library I found 1,301 staring me in the face. Surprisingly, very few of them actually delt with the game's rules or the logistics of playing, most were historical or contained stories surrounding the sport. This reiterated what I had mentioned before, the game of baseball is more than just a game. I'm still not sure how this emotional side will be conveyed in the assignment, although I have a feeling it will become apparent when completing the first part of the project, the written narrative. We began work on this yesterday by creating a large list of all the words we associate with baseball. Our homework was to define these terms and rank them in order of importance. Luckily I was able to find "Baseball for Dummies" and as well as a nice fat "Encyclopedia of Baseball" that contains a glossary of terms. I'll continue to post as progress continues on it. (As a side note, I think my Anthropology teacher is Indiana Jones. He spends his free time excavating fossils and treasure hunting. It is his first quarter here at SCAD and he comes from a university in Florida bearing a Ph.D. This anthropology class is the most academic course I've ever taken and couldn't come at a better time, as I can finally appreciate that sort of thing. His lecture tonight was a brief overview of anthropology and I was happy to hear him explain what an ethnography was, realizing its similarity to our contextual inquiries and its relevance to design.)
