pop-ups (and pops) to love!



The Pittsburgh Pirates have the best ballpark graphics I have seen anywhere, but this year's pregame history of the Pirates may have topped them all. It was done in the form of a pop-up book. Pages flipped on the screen, then slowly stopped as a pop-up came up. The one at top shows the 1971 sail to the world championship, while the one at bottom features the 1970's We Are Family Pirates of Willie "Pops" Stargell and the boys. An imaginative concept executed perfectly! It made up just a tiny bit for my missing the James Turrell light display, unaccountably gone from the night skyline.
