JEAN FRUTH
Traveling Photographer
Quite literally our eyes on the game, Jean has documented every aspect of baseball, from street games in the Caribbean to the National Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony, from Opening Day to the World Series. You can see her art across our platforms, infusing our stories, videos, and social posts with the energy she so distinctly captures. Her work also forms the backbone of the photographic essay book Grassroots Baseball: Where Legends Begin which shares the foundational memories of players from Hank Aaron to Vladimir Guerrero.
"Documenting the Latinx game in the United States and around the globe has been my passion for many years. Latinx baseball is bigger than just the action on the field: it’s culture, community, passion and inspiration. Telling the stories, showcasing the massive impact these players and countries have had in evolving baseball history, and preserving them for future generations, is truly an honor. "
