Roll out the red, green, blue, and white fondants to 1/16 inch thick. Cut and adhere with a wet brush: cut 1 1/2 x 6 inch rectangles to wrap the top of the brownie as a shirt; cut 3/4 x 6 1/2 inch rectangles to wrap the bottom as white pants.

Mix 5 oz of white fondant with 1/4 tsp Gum-Tex, tinting it light copper. Roll 1 1/2 inch balls for each head.

Make the Arms
Roll 1/4 x 1 1/2 inch long logs as arms, flatten one end and use a knife to score fingers. Cut 1/2 x 1 1/4 inch strips as sleeves. Cut 1/2 x 1 1/2 inch copper-colored triangles as the chest area. Cut 1/16 inch wide strips for the neckline.

Make the Baseball and Accessories
Roll 1/2 inch diameter white balls for the baseball. Roll small copper-colored balls for the nose, flatten balls for the ears. Tint 1/2 oz fondant black, roll small balls for the eyes, thin logs for the mouth, and adhere. Cut 2 inch circles for the hat, adhere and smooth. Cut 1 3/4 inch wide x 1/2 inch deep crescent shapes from matching fondant for the hat brim. Use a toothpick to score lines on the hat. Roll small round ball buttons to place on top of the hat.
