Jack Sanders

If you have followed our Tigre journey,that started over 5 years ago, you know that we manage to find ourselves in some pretty cool situations. We added another one to the list, but this one went straight to the top. We were honored to share the field with our great friends @texasplayboysbaseball at the majestic @thelongtimetexas this past weekend. We had the opportunity to see @ryanbinghamofficial shoot a music video, play a special concert after the game, but most importantly toss the ball around. The sun was out, the vibes were high, the scene was pristine. Thanks to everybody involved. This was a special one. Special shout out to @dba_jacksanders @texasplayboysbaseball and the whole @thelongtimetexas crew, y’all rock.

Excited to be a part of this week’s @texascountryreporter episode. I used to watch TCR with my grandmother in Cleburne … so cool to share our story! Hosted by @jaybsauceda , produced by @tscottray (new sandlotter) , and shot beautifully by @mattrainwaters . Epic national anthem by @nolanpottersnightmareband during our fundraiser for @spaceflightrecords in 2025.

20+ years in the making, I am proud to present “A Great Play” on April 18 at the Wishing Well Field in Lockhart, TX with @fuseboxlive . More than just a game, it is an immersive and improvisational exercise (a sporting event!) in community theater. The work explores the interrelationships of player and fan, performer and spectator through a fresh look at America’s pastime. Lockhart, Texas sandlot baseball is the backdrop, as Sanders (me) and a constellation of collaborators bring you along on our search for the perfect game. Thank you @lockharthawks @meatcitysmoke @texasplayboysbaseball @thetenderthings @irish_goodbye @carolinehalemusic @diablitos_de_el_paso @mill.scale @lonestarbeer and cast and crew in advance.
