Patti and Pottymouth had the great joy of sitting down with Jean Fruth and Jeff Idelson, who are bringing their new film “See Her, Be Her,” to MLB Network between games two and three of this year's World Series. “See Her, Be Her” profiles seven women baseball players in seven different parts of the world, and demonstrates the skill, perseverance, passion, and all-around badassery required to play the game they love. Jean and Jeff tell us about selecting the countries, the athletes, the stories to tell, and why film is the way to do it. We talk about “all these little channels of goodness happening” from Baseball for All to DC Girls Baseball, to Kelsie and Olivia, and being the first ones, to one day getting it all together to create a pipeline for girls and women to play at the highest levels.

One of sports photography's preeminent visual storytellers. Jean does much more than take pictures. With a diverse portfolio in portraiture and sports of all kinds, she is devoted to capturing the dynamism of her subjects and revealing the stories behind the images. She covered everything from wrestling to sailing, from basketball to volleyball to track and field. And, of course, football — on any given Friday, she could be found taking full advantage of those Friday night lights, shooting the sport's storied rivalries and eating at local snack shacks up and down northern California. Jean spent nearly a decade shooting the crown jewels of Bay Area sports — the Giants, the A's, the 49ers. Her portfolio quickly expanded when she was invited to Cooperstown, where she helped build the archive of the renowned National Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum. Jean's work has also been seen at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum and the Smithsonian. In 2019, Jean co-founded Grassroots Baseball, a non-profit that promotes and celebrates the amateur game around the globe, with the goal to grow interest and participation at the youngest levels. That year-round shooting schedule squares nicely with her commitment as a traveling photographer for La Vida Baseball and La Vida Sports, digital media companies that shares the stories of Latino sports across the United States and Latin America through original video, writing, and social content.  Jean's first book, Grassroots Baseball: Where Legends Begin, was released in 2019. Her latest, Grassroots Baseball: Route 66, was published in 2022, with proceeds benefitting the non-profit organization. Jean is honored to be designated by Sony as one of its select Sony Artisans of Imagery.

We're fans of baseball and that includes all levels.  Driving past a Little League field seeing kids out there playing baseball makes us smile every time.  For nearly all major league players playing baseball starts in backyards, on streets, and wherever there's a ball, a glove, and even sometimes a bat. Jean Fruth has been photographing baseball for many years.  As team photographer for the SF Giants and Oakland A's, she's demonstrates a keen eye and a deep sensitivity for America's Pastime.   She worked with Jeff Idelson at the Baseball Hall of Fame while he was the recent past-President.  For the past 3 years Jean and Jeff have partnered  and created www.Grassrootsbaseball.org.  Its mission  is to promote and celebrate the amateur game around the glove.  Their first book 'Grassroots Baseball - where legends begin' is focused on the game around the world.  The more recent book 'Grassroots Baseball - Route 66 features essays and commentary from former & current MLB players like Johnny Bench, Jim Thome, and Alex Bregman to name a few.   We had a terrific conversation with Jean and Jeff talking about taking baseball photos, nurturing and growing the game  that we all love so much. Please subscribe to our podcast and thanks for listening!

On today's podcast I speak with photographer Jean Fruth. Jean is a photographer based in San Francisco,CA with much of her work centered around Baseball. In Jeans new book “Grassroots Baseball where legends begin” she documents the amateur game of baseball from all levels around the world in places such as Cuba, the Dominican republic, Japan, and Cape Cod to name a few. Jean has covered nearly every aspect of the game of baseball, from photographing MLB games, World Series, Little League game, working with the Baseball Hall Of Fame in Cooperstown and so much more. Her attention to detail and dedication to documenting the game of baseball is truly impressive so I was excited to get a chance to speak with her about her career and new Book that is now available for purchase at grassrootsbaseball.com I hope you enjoy and thanks for listening! www.jeanfruthimages.com www.grassrootsbaseball.com SPONSORED BY : PicDrop 3 Months free when you use promo code "photobanter" https://www.picdrop.com PROMO CODE "photobanter"
