Cedar Rapids @ Lansing, 4/25/05. I didn't know it at the time, but Jordy's wife was working upstairs from me all summer....

Southwest Michigan catcher Alex Jamieson tags incoming Cedar Rapids baserunner Flint Wipke in the first inning of a game at Battle Creek on April 21, 2006. Wipke's trying to score from second on Mark Trumbo's single to left; Pat Reilly's already scored on the hit, and on deck batter Warner Madrigal's urging Wipke to slide. ============= The strange effects partly resulted from a mis-setting, as the (Chinon Genesis) camera didn't realize I'd installed the lens extender. Over the years, I've done that a lot. In this case, though, we can blame the camera; I was fighting to get it to hold its settings, and by game's end the camera had completely failed. I'm reasonably sure the second roll I took at the game will be the last for this camera. Sad, but not that sad. The camera served me well for a number of years, but I've got far better equipment. As I've discussed before , it took good pictures but wasn't the right camera for this photographer. The original scan , and the rest of the roll , are on the MWLguide photo stream .

Madison @ Cedar Rapids, 8/14/1994.

Cedar Rapids Kernels Manager Bobby Magallanes (Angels system) encouraging his batter from the third base coaching box during the first game of an April 25 double-header at Lansing's Oldsmobile Park. The Lansing third baseman is Christian Snavely, and Ryan Klosterman's the shortstop; they're Blue Jays farm hands. Lansing would lose this game, though the finish was still a couple hours off when I shot the picture. Lansing came back hard to win the nightcap. Most Midwest League managers coach at third, which exposes something of their personality to those of us who watch the games from that side. Bobby's a little intense; it's like he's watching six things at once, only some of which are under his control. This is about as relaxed as he gets.
