The Sultans of Springfield

Watched the Lansing Lugnuts beat the Beloit Snappers from the Owners Box yesterday afternoon. Found these mementos from Tom Dickson's and Sherri Myers' past on the wall. I remember the Sultans. So did some of the other guests.

Thanks to Lansing's Season Ticket Concierge Dave Link for the invitation.

636 game photos here.

Lansing versus East Lansing. Single-A versus Division I. Pros versus amateurs. (The collegians won, by the way.)

Whatever. Baseball!

Original photo here. 35 game photos--disproportionately cheerleaders (!) and pro photographers--here.

I'll take a better camera this weekend, when they start playing for real....

And all is well with the world.

Original picture (not much different) here. Two hundred or so others from the game here.

The Tigers play their first exhibition tomorrow. Baseball's coming!

As she left for work last Valentine's Day, Joan asked if I had a plan for the day. I told her I had a photo assignment....

Craig Wieczorkiewicz, host of the Midwest League Traveler website, had been begging for photographs of "snowbound" Midwest League stadiums in Michigan. Although snowbound was probably an exaggeration, I set out to supply some Lansing shots. Took my phone and the big Nikon with me and wandered around the periphery of the place I think of as Olds Park but which now goes by another name.

I expected I'd post a photo of one or another of the ballyard's statues to 366 Snaps, which is what occurred (deliberately vignetted, probably using Bibble Pro's Vigne plugin). I put the best of the day's set on my baseball flickr. And here's what Craig did with the pix.

This, though, is the best photo I took that day--and I took it with the phone cam I'd been cursing the day before. It all depends....

This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps.

Number of project photos taken: 21
Title of "roll:" Cooley
Other photos taken on 2/14/2012: As I say above, I took 17 more ballpark photos with the D300.
