Jean Fruth
“I’ve learned that the game is more than just a sport – it is dreams and aspirations for so many people wherever I go. The culture of baseball is so much bigger than just what happens on the field.”

Sports Photographer Jean Fruth does more than take pictures. She tells stories—of vibrant personalities, local cultures, and distinctive communities. From a small darkroom to the most iconic stadiums flooded with lights, her trajectory as one of photography’s preeminent visual storytellers has taken her on a round-the-horn tour of the world’s most indelible landmarks.

Now Jean hopes to tell an even larger story: about the power of sports to change the world. While baseball has always been her most compelling subject—and she considers herself lucky to follow that bouncing ball wherever it leads her—what drives her now is to serve historically-underserved communities as the co-founder of Grassroots Baseball, a non-profit that promotes a simple truth: sports isn’t merely a diversion. Its influence doesn’t end at the chalk line. Sports can empower and transform lives—the lives of youth, minorities, and women around the globe.
