Icon request: icon-baseball-plate

[aidanshealy]

Can we get a baseball and a baseball homeplate icon? Maybe an open and filled plate?

They have soccer, but no football, baseball, basketball, hockey, cricket, curling, or any other sports. Just soccer. I'd support adding all of the sports.

adding all of the sports is out of the scope of FontAwesome

btw this request is legit

[kayakyakr]

Why would adding one sport be in the scope, but adding all sports be out of scope?

Hi,

FA is supposed to work for a generic web application. Of course a small subset of sports is fine to have and all individual requests asking for a specific sport are legit.

A comprehensive set of icons dealing with sports (including minor sports) is a request that is hard to implement for Dave and to manage for me.

Example of a complex request: Title: Icon request: sports Content: I want to request baseball, american football, volleyball, etc. Comments: +1 curley, +1 archery, +1 weightlifting...

We had to fix our contributing guidelines in order to deal with this: https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#requesting-new-icons

Please do not request comprehensive sets of icons related to a very specific field.

The best thing we can do in this case is to use fontawesome alongside another set specific to our needs

E.g.: I need to implement a forecast application, so I could opt for Font Awesome + Meteocons

Or I can customize fontawesome: https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/wiki/Customize-Font-Awesome

Hope that I explained better now

Gotcha. So, in short, the major sports are cool, and each sport needs to be its own request just for management's sake.
