Illustration Throwback Thursday #5

Back in the early 2000’s the Minnesota Twins pro baseball team had a monthly magazine that was both distributed at the ballpark and sold on news stands… and the Twins were actually a good team as opposed to sucking as they do today. I did a fair amount of work for the magazine in 2000 and 2001, including some single page comics illustrating great moments from the season and feature illustrations. Here are a few from 2001 (clicky any to embiggen…):

This was for a story about baseball superstitions

This is one of those single page comics, illustrating pitcher
Eric Milton’s no hitter. The Twins added the text to it later.

This was about a big comeback victory against Cleveland.

Back to back to back homers in a game against Kansas City. It now takes
the Twins a week to hit three homers.

Another about Milton, this time highlighting his .444 batting average
in interleague games.
