Ryan Christenson has turned lineup cards into art.

瑞安‧克里斯騰森將打擊順序卡變成藝術。

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.

舊金山巨人隊總教練鮑伯‧梅爾文選定打擊順序後，他的首席教練為當天的豪華手稿選擇字體和配色方案，選項包括羅馬哥德體、凱爾特變體、奇卡諾紋身和塗鴉。

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.

只要克里斯騰森提供藝術化後的打擊順序卡，球員就會期待牆上的手稿。上個月，當投手德魯‧波梅蘭茲抵達花旗球場（紐約大都會主場）的客隊休息室，與巨人隊會合時，休息室上面的字跡是錯不了的。「我一走進這裡，就知道那塊板是誰寫的，」他說。

Christenson uses roughly 10 styles that include cursives with various thickness to make the letters pop.

克里斯騰森用了大約10種風格，其中包括不同粗細的草寫字體，以使字母脫穎而出。
