Digital Gum Wave 5: St. Paul Saints

They had a heck of an inaugural season at CHS Field...and here in all of their retro ball card glory are the 2015 St. Paul Saints. These shots reflect the roster no later than July 12, 2015. Missing a few pitchers, as with the usual luck of the draw on just catching a few road games. So alas, no Kramer Sneed. This team was a lot of fun to photograph--the Saints are not only a formidable ball club, they also have more than their share of characters on their roster. It will be interesting to see what their 2016 line-up looks like, with the Dodgers buying up the contracts of DiFazio and Songco.

Brady Wilson and the Scorpion Slide

Sussex County Miner Brady Wilson (seen here prior to being traded from the Winnipeg Goldeyes for Reggie Abercrombie) shows a fine example of the Scorpion Slide, much to the consternation of St. Paul's Joey Paciorek, who was in a cranky mood that night. He ended up being safe. Photos taken by Dan LeMoal on June 16 at Shaw Park, Winnipeg.
