There are six large office buildings between Michigan's Capitol and the Hall of Justice, but they're arranged so that you cannot easily see all at once. In this photo: The Van Wagoner Building. Murray Van Wagoner was Michigan's governor in the early 1940s. The building houses the Transportation Department, which he championed. The Hannah Building. John Hannah was president of Michigan State University for 28 years. This building houses the Education Department, of course. It was originally called The South Tower, though it's not particularly tall. Stevens T. Mason Building. Mason was the governor of Michigan Territory, and first governor of the State of Michigan. This Equals That would dominate this photograph if it had not been removed. I was never a fan of the sculpture, but the State's treatment of the piece was disgraceful.

Former Toronto, Boston, and Houston manager Jimy Williams, now an instructor in the Devil Rays farm system, contests a call by umpire De'Andre Anderson at Battle Creek's CO Brown Stadium. Jimy'd already been ejected from the game. July 3, 2006. I spent Monday evening wandering around the ballpark, taking pictures and chatting with other long-time Battle Creek season ticket holders. Although for the most part we know each other only casually, we have many shared memories. This animated discussion set us all to talking about Billy Gardner, Jr. , who's remembered in BC partly for his short fuse. Original photo here . 416 game photos here .
