One of my pastimes as a youth was to be a vocal and outspoken proponent of the sport of baseball. I played it quite a bit and even went so far as to call myself a “baseball player”. I left that life behind when I crossed the podium at my high school graduation and I now count myself among those who have retired from the sport and all of it’s glitzy trappings. I do still have the ability to watch and follow those with more skill as they pursue the dream of professional sportsmanship. And in the realm of bullpens, butcher boys, balks, and breaking balls, my favorite team is the Yankees.

A strident choice to be sure, but not one chosen on a whim. As a decedent of some true blue New Yorkers, my say in the matter of fandom was decided long before I could weigh and assess the merits each club’s attributes.

As a lover of the Bronx Bombers, I decided to create some minimalist Yankees themed cellphone wallpapers. You can check them out and feel free to download them for your own personal enjoyment.
