Goodyear Pix

We've some fantastic photos of game action, but here are a few of the ballpark itself. These were taken prior to the Indians vs. Rockies game on March 11, 2009. The best part of the ballpark is obviously the playing surface and the sight lines. The uncompleted 'campus' leaves a lot to be desired, but will hopefully grow with additional development over the next few years. I need eight more words to finish this.

I like that ‘first base’ gate.

That is so NOT Winter Haven!

I used to be able to drive from my home outside DC to Winter Haven in about 14 hours for a couple of days of ST. No more. Thanks for pics of what the new stadium and grounds look like.

The kiddo in the bottom photo looks a whole lot like my youngest, hat and all.

That’s Ethan. He’s six. I still need to explain to him who the old guy was who signed his baseball.

Frankly, I don't contribute much.

Now that I look at it, the ‘signature’ is in partial Italian and profanes Lebron James.

'Z' button abuser.

Kyle looks a lot like him from behind, he wears glasses all of the time, which is what really caught me.

If there’s a chipotle ad in these pics, it’s really poorly placed. When I read your comment, I started looking for it… and first thing that stood out was the Incarnate Word one, so rec for Andrew for doing the same thing as me.

Travis Hafner is overrated. Clarity is underrated. David Dellucci is David Dellucci.
