Basketball, for example, is a vertical game. Players are very often jumping to shoot or block and the basket is high up off the ground. In baseball, other than very rare instances, such as an infielder leaping for a high line drive or an outfielder jumping above the fence to catch a fly ball, there are few instances of baseball plays going vertical. Conversely, your post shows a whole bunch of example of horizontal plays where either one player is extended horizontally while batting, pitching, or defending, or where 2 or more players are involved side-by-side.<br /><br />Excellent post (as usual.)Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05644396308532248413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-70783603861839512102009-09-10T08:21:23.783-04:002009-09-10T08:21:23.783-04:00Awesome post, horizontal cards are the best!Awesome post, horizontal cards are the best!shoeboxlegendshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11642879419337014960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-90710283322454634512009-09-10T08:08:14.360-04:002009-09-10T08:08:14.360-04:00nice cards!
