Wasn't planning to take pictures at last night's game, but shot 60 or so with my pocket camera, which really isn't up to the job. Here's Fort Wayne's last pitcher, Kevin Quackenbush. In a few minutes he walked in the winning run, and Lansing advanced to the championship round. Original photo here . 63 game photos here --mostly pitchers I'd not seen before.

Fort Wayne third baseman Tyler Stubblefield, sending Jake Marisnick's ground ball off to first base. Third basemen don't often get Marisnick; this play did. Original photo here . 712 game photos here . On the whole, I'm quite pleased with this set, but I might be taking too many photographs these days.

Fort Wayne pitchers Derek McDaid, Jake Ociesa, Stevie Delabar, and pitching coach Wally Whitehurst before the game... Original photo here . Game photos here .

Fort Wayne at Battle Creek. BC Yankee infielder Juan Camacho has just swung at a Jon Huber pitch; the other visible players are catcher Andres Pagan and second baseman Brian Burgamy. Original photo here . Among the many things I'll miss, now that the Battle Creek franchise has left town, is the view from this seat. My West Michigan tickets arrived on Friday, along with a note telling that Lansing's tix will be available on March 15. The season begins April 5. I'm getting antsy....

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!
