Upon further review...

thanks for the two late additions. Nice shot of the outfield brain trust! : )

Brain trust

Comment reminded me of this old pic I took in 2004:

Was

hoping for a dome tip of the cap.

No complaints your pictures are great and we love and appreciate them. Keep up the awesome work.

Actually, I've given up for now...

Fukudome is just so low key. Al did post one of my photos, from the home opener, when Fukudome did remove his cap, and bow to the bleachers.

Since that game, he usually makes a very subtle gesture to the crowd. He will bow his head downwards (in a photo it just appears that he is looking at the ground) or he will tap the brim of his cap (in a still image, he comes off as adjusting his cap).

I will keep on the lookout for that photo opportunity, but he is no showboat. It's the Japanese way. Very unlike a former Cub's right fielder, and I am not talking about Burnitz or Jones.

Well, looks like Soto...

...has satisfied his triple community projection for the year in just the first week! Everything from here on is pure gravy....

great pics

I find myself looking forward to these posts after the game. Kudos for the good work.

outfield pic

Im a bit surprised by the outfield pic. Is Fukudome huge or are our other OF's small? I confess I was wrong about Fukudome. I expected him to struggle for the first part of the season due to the new country, cold weather etc before coming good. I was wrong & hope it stays that way. ^_^
