Daily Dragons

by Andrew Johnson

“He had been a minor league pitcher until Joe DiMaggio and the dragons arrived.”

The line originates from page 43 in the novel, The Church of Baseball, by Ron Shelton.

This piece of history relates to the creation of the movie, Bull Durham, which takes place at a minor-league stadium of the Durham Bulls, an affiliate of the MLB franchise, the Tampa Bay Rays.

The author of the book illustrates the creation of how the movie was made and the people he met throughout the process, y’all should check it out, what a great read!

And then the Dragons Arrived

For The Daily Create we were asked to take the first line of a book and then add the line “and then the dragons arrived. Once we chose that we were to make a gif or a picture illustrating the new opening.

I thought of using a children’s book but that just worked to well. I then decided on the bible. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And then the dragons arrived.

I used Adobe firefly. It just puts creation out of order really. I really liked the picture. I then had a suggestion from my husband to use one of his antique children’s novels. He brought me “Tom Swift and His Atomic Earth Blaster. “Man, look at this earth blaster go to town!” yelled Bud Barclay from the cab of a big tractor trailer. And then the dragons arrived. I got some great pictures to choose from. I picked one and did some edits and added the atomic earth blaster. Then the program froze or something and I lost all my work. At this point I was like the original created by Adobe Firefly will have to do.
