It took Amelie Mancini, a painter and printmaker from France, very little time to fall in love with baseball when she moved to New York a few years ago. Now she's sharing her enthusiasm for the sport through original postcard-size prints called "Edible All-Stars." They feature ten players whose last name is a food: Herman Franks and Chet Lemon, anyone?

She's also designed two series called "Marvelous Mustaches" and a set named "Bizarre Injuries."

Amelie took time away from the drawing board to answer a few questions on baseball food, French vs. American fare, and our suggestion for chef baseball cards.

You're from France. Were you horrified by your first encounter with baseball food?!

Ha! Not at all. I love it! We the French can appreciate all kinds of food, hot dogs and Cracker Jacks included.

What do you miss about French food?

I miss the cheese most of all, and the overall quality of fruits and vegetables, which is hard to get here in New York, unless you pay the price. I also miss the slower pace of cooking and attention to detail that exists in France. French home food isn't about making fancy complicated dishes, but about taking the time to do things properly and making sure only the best and freshest ingredients are used.

What's your favorite American food?

I can't ever say no to a good juicy burger with Swiss cheese and mushrooms!

Have you adopted a favorite baseball team?

I'm a diehard Mets fan.

What gave you the idea for the food-name baseball cards?

I enjoy making art that is playful and somewhat ridiculous, and I liked the idea of taking those last names very literally. I liked the juxtaposition of baseball and food. It made me laugh.

Any plans for football cards? NFL star Ray Rice, comes to mind…

I am actually working on making cards for other sports, so I'll keep Ray Rice in mind if I ever do football!

We're sure people would enjoy celebrity chef cards, too. Want to collaborate on those?!

Ooh, great idea!

What else would our readers like to know about you?

I make a mean boeuf bourguignon!
