Thanks Rob. (Termite control doesn't tickle me at all, since my house is due a treatment!)"Termite And Pest Control. INC. For A Job Done Right..." Somehow that tickles me. Not the sort of thing one usually sees at a sporting fixture, not in Scotland at least.
Fine shot, Brian. Try-X doing its job well.
Your guess may be correct, Ivar. Or that may be dust on the scan. I honestly do not know. Thanks for the comments, Ivar.I think this is a great picture with everything sharp and crisp. A very telling picture and I do believe that the ball is to be found straight down from the sign " JOB DONE " into the field, right outside the inne lighter circle. My guess.
Thanks, Pete. Much appreciated.Love the scale of this (and the lack of termites!). Super stuff.
Thanks John. Much appreciated.Timely photo. A really good one too.
Spring training just started. The boys of summer will soon be at work. I'm a big baseball fan, especially the Detroit Tigers. Go Tigs!
You're right, John. I had forgotten. I was at the new park. I wish I had gotten into the old Tiger Stadium. I think it was from 1917, that park. (Old time baseball fascinates me.) Its a disappointment to me that I never got to Yankee Stadium nor to the old Comiskey Park (though I was tantalizingly close to Comiskey one night while on business in Chicago, but there was a perfect storm conspiring to prevent me getting in: It was near the end of the season, the Sox were in contention and it was the third night of a three game home stand against the A's, whom they had beaten the two previous nights. The stadium was filled to capacity and I couldn't get a ticket. My main memory is of so many Sox fans carrying brooms into the stadium.) I did make it to Wrigley Field one day, though.Nope, didn't know about that game, but it sounds fun. If the ball wasn't visible in this photo, I'd guess it was a little bit lower.
If you saw a game at Tiger Stadium, it was about twice that long ago. The Tigers moved into their new park, Comerica Park, in 1999 or 2000. I've seen a lot of games at both parks, but a lot more at the old stadium, of course. Actually, "a lot" is a bit of an overstatement. I've seen a half-dozen at the new park and a few dozen at Tiger Stadium.
Never made it to the old Yankee Stadium. I have been to both Chicago stadiums. They are practically next door. Fans from Michigan never got a great reception at Comiskey, but Wrigley was fine for out of towners. I've also been to Royals Stadium and Arlington Stadium.You're right, John. I had forgotten.
