Small Mountains, but steep

On Friday afternoon, we skipped out of the convention for a short walk around downtown Toronto. Found this untitled sculpture by Anish Kapoor in Simcoe Park.

Richard and I are spending the weekend in Toronto.

We escaped from the convention for a few minutes, and I found these neat flowers on an unexpected balcony.

Another photo of the roundhouse alongside SkyDome (Rogers Centre). Not sure why the sky isn't blue in this photo, but that's the way my camera caught it.

Roundhouse

Joel Dinda has posted:

Old CN roundhouse, with coaling and water tower ruins, Toronto. The Canadian National Railway used to have an enormous rail yard near downtown Toronto, which is marked by the CN Tower and partly occupied now by the SkyDome (Rogers Centre). This roundhouse, and a much smaller yard, are all that remain.

You can see Lake Ontario in the background.

The picture's a little noisy largely because I shot it through a window.

Just west of SkyDome/Rogers Centre in Toronto; evidently dedicated in 2003. Really a terrific monument.

Lansing Lugnuts third baseman Josh Bell--not to be mistaken for Great Lakes Loons 3B JB--follows through at West Michigan's Fifth Third Ballpark. The catcher's Louis Ott (normally an infielder); the ump is Takeshi Hirabayashi.

M.A.C.

Finally, a ball game.

Michigan State ballplayer Adam Slusher, wearing a retro M.A.C. uniform (that being Michigan Agricultural College, MSU's ancestral school.) I suspect that makes him an Aggie, since the Spartan nickname dates from when the school was MSC (Michigan State College, of course).

State rallied in the ninth to tighten the game to 4-3. Lansing's Lugnuts held on to win the exhibition....

Tom Brookens, infielder for the 1984 World Champion Detroit Tigers, is now managing the West Michigan Whitecaps. The 'Caps played their home opener last night, losing to Lansing. It was cold.

More photos from the game here. A few more photographs of Brookens here. My website's Brookens page here.

The Babe was wandering around SkyDome (sorry: Rogers Centre) before the Yanks/Blue Jays game on August 5, 2005. I imagine there's a backstory, but it turns out I don't really care.

SABR 35 Convention photo. This photo's also posted on my other (baseball) Flickr.

Fort Wayne's Yordany Ramirez dives for safety at Lansing's Oldsmobile Park in a successful second-inning steal on September 1, 2005. That's Lansing's Eugenio Velez waiting for the throw at second, with Luggie shortstop Ryan Klosterman moving over to back up the play. David Hicks watches the play develop from first base.

I miss baseball.

In the event you don't already know, I'm moving most of my baseball pix to another Flickr account: mwlguide. See you there!

Every year's convention of the Society for American Baseball Research is scheduled to include a major league game. This year's game saw the Blue Jays host the Yankees at Rogers Centre. The Yanks won, big.
