"Stickball City: a Photo Essay" by Marshall Rake, Corban Goble, & Cian O'Day

[Marshall and Corbin edit Epilogue Magazine. Despite being based in New York City, Cian, Corban, and Marshall all root for the Packers and don't sweat the details.]

On April 4th, Nike in concert with the New York Emperors Stickball League hosted a stickball tournament on Mercer Street in front of Nike's New York City SoHo store. Nike and NYESL enlisted New York City-based artists and musicians, including Asher Roth and Jesse Boykins, to fill team rosters. Q-Tip emceed and deejayed the game.

Using three wildly different cameras - Corban's Fuji Instax, Marshall's Braun Paxette, and Cian's Canon Rebel - the Einsteins were on the scene documenting the stickball hijinks.

(Shout out to Andrew Borin for the tip.)
