I am SO GLAD they are finally enforcing the "No Butt-crack" policy!!!::cop:

Thanks for reviving this thread, you saved me a search. I still don't have any from my son's games yet, but I thought I'd post these.

We are a baseball loving family, too. There's nothing like Opening Day (except it's usually really cold here, too!)

Well we didn't make it to Opening Day this year, but we made it to the second game yesterday, which arguably this year was even more fun. It was Daisuke Matsuzaka's - aka Dice K - debut at Fenway Park! Thought I'd share (pardon the imperfections.)

Red Sox fans - do you think giving DiceK #18 was a suble slam? The funny part was, a lot of fans who had Damon #18 shirts had duct-taped the name Matsuzaka over Damon.

Here are some oldies but goodies. These were taken the day after the Sox won the World Series in 2004. Hey Curt Shilling... You just won the World Series. What are you going to do next???

Johnny Demon's family was there.

Not to mention lots of Red Sox nation!!

Daddy Curt and Mickey.

The cutest fan at the parade.

Talk about your magical experiences.

I posted these on the CB but here's a few of the Spring Training game I went to back on March 10th.

Even Spring Training tickets are hard to get.

Joker Marchant Stadium in Lakeland, FL. The Spring Training home of the Detroit Tigers.

Terry Francona with Detroit's manager.

Wily Mo Pena.

Pitcher Josh Beckett.

Eric Hinske getting ready to cross home plate after hitting a grand slam home run!

A war of words. The benches emptied during this mini rumble.

WE WON!!!

It was a fantastic experience and one I hope to repeat next year.

I recently went to a Yankee vs Tiger game in Lakeland. We had a great time even though the yankees got clobbered! The best part was that there was a swarm of bees that invaded the field! It was so funny to see the players run away! I'm not able to post pics yet but when I'm able, I will. Lynn

In an effort to keep the baseball '07 thread moving and secondly to keep the Red Sox part of the thread in tack here are some pics from last nighs Sox/Yanks game at Fenway Park. I'm kicking myself in the behind because I didn't bring my dSLR. I hadn't been to a game since before 9/11 and didn't want to have any issues with bags and all that stuff so I just took my Canon Powershot S30. Got to Fenway early for batting practice, though I did miss the Sox, I was able to see the Yanks take BP. The spot I ended up there were 3 people there with Nikon dSLR's. 2 of them with a D50!!! DOH! Next time my D50 is coming with me! BP is an excellent time to get great shots. Here are a few with my little 3x zoom, 3.1MP, 5+ year old S30.

For those long time Sox fans, no that is not Mo Vaughn standing for the National Antheum, thats Big Papi wearing #42 in honor of Jackie Robinson. With him are Julio Lugo, Willi Mo Pena, Kevin Youkilis, ?, and Mike Lowell:

And for the 5th time ever in MLB history: Back to back to back to back. #4 Jason Varitek after crossing home plate. (I hate shutter lag!)

SOX WIN!! 7-6

Well, of course your Nikon D50 would have been welcome! Didn't you see the big Nikon sign!

 

[Master Mason]

yea but you might have been out of place with all those big white canon lenses all around (couldn't find Marks stir the pot Icon)

Awesome pics. Those games were great this weekend. Been a Sox fan for about 7 years now, was not really into BB before my BIL moved up there and my wife and I started following them. We will be in Seattle next month and last time I went up there, I did not take my DSlr with me to the game, this time I will be.

Great pics everyone.

 

[Master Mason]

One from tonights game. My son went 3-4 at the plate his first multi hit game in HS

 

[FirstTimertoDiz]

How about including the girls, too?? My dh is the head softball coach at his school....here are a couple pics from the other night:

And of course, ds (3) running the bases after the game...

 

[DizGeek]

Its funny how a (worldwide) thread about baseball pics turned into Red Sox/Fenway pics.

Gotta love Red Sox Nation!

Here are a few photos from the 2007 Arizona Diamondbacks season so far.

Chase Field - Home of the Arizona Diamondbacks. The mosaic panels open and the roof retracts when the weather is nice. The team usually opens the roof and panels just before the game. It takes 5:28 for the roof to open. The Diamondbacks had a local musician compose a song specifically for the roof opening. Here's a view from the inside. You can see the pool beyond the right field fence.

This is rookie pitcher Micah Owings warming up in the bullpen before his start.

Here is Orlando Hudson "O-Dawg" the starting second baseman for the Diamondbacks checking his batting helmet in the dugout before the game.

This is not really team related but this is my son Dakota being interviewed for a piece on the JumboTron. He was named "Honorary Bat Kid" for the game and hung out on the field before the game with the players and official bat boys.

Diamondback player introductions at the Diamondbacks home opener on April 9.

Tony Clark waiting for a pitch.

O-Dawg, Chad Tracy, and Chris Young warming up before the National Anthem

My wife Trina and my daughter Tiffany wheeling and dealing poolside at the Diamondbacks game.

Center fielder Chris Young checking on his vertical leap.

Right fielder Carlos Quentin

Randy Johnson's first pitch of 2007 as an Arizona Diamondback

Home run by the San Diego Padres just out of the reach of Eric Byrnes and Chris Young

Padres right fielder Brian Giles hit the wall directly in front of me and nearly knocked himself out. He was so close I couldn't get him in the frame. I asked him to roll over a couple of times so I could frame him properly but he just laid there.

Here is his "snow angel" in the warning track dirt.

My son Dakota in the Chase Field swimming pool.

My wife Trina hanging out with the "Rally Back" girls and Vanessa the in-game host. This was just before a JumboTron in-game spot from the pool area.

Outfielders Eric Byrnes (#22) and Chris Young (#24) posing for the camera during a pitching change.

Just a few shots from the first 18 home games of the Diamondbacks.

one from yesterdays playoff loss

 

[handicap18]

Jeff, Nice shots you got there. I'd love to head out that way sometime and get in a game. Certainly one of the things on my life long "To Do" list, see every major league ball park. I've got 6 under my belt. I'm hoping to get to Philadelphia in Sept.

Gregg, that is a GREAT action shot! Nice capture.

Well Kyle if you ever do plan a trip to Arizona and want to catch the Diamondbacks let me know. I'd be happy to take you to a game.
