Ryan Christenson has turned lineup cards into art.
瑞安‧克里斯腾森将打击顺序卡变成艺术。
After San Francisco Giants manager Bob Melvin picks a batting order, his bench coach selects the font and color scheme for the day’s sumptuous script. Options include Roman Gothic, a Celtic variation, Chicano Tattoo and graffiti.
旧金山巨人队总教练鲍伯‧梅尔文选定打击顺序后，他的首席教练为当天的豪华手稿选择字体和配色方案，选项包括罗马哥德体、凯尔特变体、奇卡诺纹身和涂鸦。
Players look forward to the handwriting on the wall as long as Christenson provides the penmanship. When pitcher Drew Pomeranz reached the visitors’ clubhouse at Citi Field to join the Giants last month, the lettering was unmistakable. “I knew as soon as I walked in here who wrote that board,” he said.
只要克里斯腾森提供艺术化后的打击顺序卡，球员就会期待墙上的手稿。上个月，当投手德鲁‧波梅兰兹抵达花旗球场（纽约大都会主场）的客队休息室，与巨人队会合时，休息室上面的字迹是错不了的。「我一走进这里，就知道那块板是谁写的，」他说。
Christenson uses roughly 10 styles that include cursives with various thickness to make the letters pop.
克里斯腾森用了大约10种风格，其中包括不同粗细的草写字体，以使字母脱颖而出。
