Gordy Jones

Gordy Jones grew up playing and loving the game of baseball in Saint Paul, Minnesota. While working for a newspaper in California, Gordy became a volunteer writer and photographer for his friend Dave Winfield, who had a charitable foundation for children. Gordy instantly found that his passions were writing about baseball and taking pictures of baseball. In 2005 Gordy collaborated with an artist, Tim VanNess, a newspaper colleague. In this collaboration, Gordy was able to combine his passion for baseball, writing, and children with Tim's unique illustrations to create Baseball Guy. Today Gordy Jones continues to write and shoot baseball photos. He also photographs charitable events for Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau, Michael Cuddyer, Denard Span, Harmon Killebrew and many more. Baseball Guy is a rhyming story that takes you through every level of the game; from Little League to the majors, even to just being a fan. Gordy Jones also slips in many of life's lessons which are related to baseball, such as teamwork, goal setting, education, respect, family, and more. As Minnesota Twin Michael Cuddyer says, “I feel that Baseball Guy is not only a good read for kids, but also a great read for the fan in all of us.”
