After about 2 1/2 hours of editing and saving pictures, I've finally gotten to posting. I took 550+ pictures this weekend, only a fraction of that I've uploaded, and I'll post a few of my favorites here in the thread. Here we go-

An eight hour drive is seemingly endless when you are on your way to see your team play a Cardinals line-up that was going to include the likes of Albert Pujols and Chris Carpenter. Woke up about 5:30 A.M. central for the 7:05 P.M. easter first-pitch. We arrived about 4:45 P.M. and the weather couldn't have been more perfect. Didn't receive any autographs before the game, but got plenty afterwards. Purposely, our seats were about 15 rows back on the first base side, and got some great shots of Pujols.

This was one of my favorites of the night, right after Andruw poked a single to left.

I thought this was a pretty neat shot - Francoeur stretched out and turned this one into a double after it hit the chalk and rolled into foul territory just past 1st base.
This turned out to be a great game. Redman was very sharp.
Concerns: Soriano and Gonzalez both gave up homers in their appearance, consequently the game ended up a 6-6 tie after 10 innings.
Game 2 we saw split squad action between the Braves and Tigers. I was disappointed in the squad we saw from the Tigers that did not include Sheffield or Rodriguez, but they still had a few of their superstars. I arrived at the park about 10 that morning, the minute I set my bag down to open and take out a few baseballs and a pen, McCann set down his bat behind the cage and came over and started signing some autographs. I kicked it into high gear, so much as to not be able to hold on to anything I was in such a panic to get down there, and got a few scrapes and bruises.
Nevertheless, I got it.

I got a lot more on Sunday, ended up getting 14 total from the trip. Sunday also, to name a few, included Langerhans, McBride, and Schuerholz Jr. who looks just like his dad, its unreal. Speaking of Sr. Schuerholz, he was out on the field during batting practice, here are a few of those:

Another one of my favorites. Two of the greatest baseball minds.
