White Sox ---->
RED SOX????
OK, I know that one is mean to a White Sox fan. Smile! Actually, this year I am rooting for the Cubbies since the Twins lost out. And I know it, I'll go ahead and brag ... but David Ortiz, AJ Pierzynski, and Torii Hunter are friends of mine from when they were Twins. And I usually root for any team that has guys on it that I know as friends. The only ex-Twin on the Cubs I think is Henry Blanco and I didn't know him ... but we gotta break that last Curse.
Baseball photography is one of my hobbies and I so love getting my own 8x10s autographed. Here is one of my all-time favorite shots. Everyone loves to hate AJ Pierzynski but he really is a puppy dog at heart. To me this photo gets to the essence of baseball and why we love it so much. This was during the National Anthem on a Sunday when kids get picked out of the crowd to stand on the field at each position with the players ... and they get a free tee shirt. I can just see this little boy dreaming later that night of being a catcher some day:
