Take Me Out

The Lansing Lugnuts were scheduled to open their home season today, against the Dayton Dragons at what they used to call Oldmobile Park. I was planning to be there, in my favorite seat (that would be Section N, Row 4, Seat 8--directly behind the visiting team's dugout). But of course they're not playing, so we'll settle for this photo from a Lansing/Dayton game on 4/23/2013.

The batter's Seth Mejias-Brean, and the catcher is Santiago Nessy. (Sorry; haven't got the ump's name at my fingertips; I photographed the game but didn't score it--which is unusual. [Ted Turocy tells me it's Blake Mickelson.]) My next two photos show that this swing resulted in a popup, but I don't know where it landed or whether someone caught it.
