Many of the images are imaginary players, based on fantasy baseball teams a la Kerouac: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/16/books/16kero.html
or Robert Coover: http://www.nytimes.com/books/98/09/27/specials/coover-baseball.html
or my own imagination. I created my own dice baseball game at the age of nine, with players like Salvo Witness, Emerson Stiles, Cadway Gilbey, Somolo Jiif, Hal Montville, and many, many more. I've also had the pleasure of playing fantasy baseball online (thanks to the Savoy League, the Home Nations Baseball Association, and Diamond Mind: http://jackie42.simnasium.com/ )
I currently am involved with OOTP (Out of the Park Baseball) which has a thriving online presence, including options for fantasy leagues using made up players and teams.
More recently, encouraged by the late, fellow baseball enthusiast and poet, John Oliver Simon, I also began writing about baseball, and was published in Poets11. Here is a link to the reading where I was one of 33 poets sharing selected pieces from the anthology: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtoUHNKbAWI&feature=related
Here is a second poetry link, from the 2013 Poets 11 anthology:
