Digital Gum Wave 3: The Kansas City T-Bones

Had three games worth of shots for these, so quite a few more players in this set. Vladamir Frias was on the disabled list, so a dugout shot will have to do. Went for the T-Bone steak hat instead of the swinging steer, which they usually use in their road games.

With an 8-2 record on the season so far, pitcher Bobby Doran is one of the reasons Kansas City is tightening its grip on a wildcard spot in the American Association.

Jake Blackwood, Kansas City T-Bones

Congratulations to Kansas City T-Bone and former Goldeye Jake Blackwood, who recorded his 1,000th career hit with an RBI single tonight. The T-Bones took both games in their double header with Joplin, winning 5-3 and 7-3, and seem to have tightened their stranglehold on the wildcard spot. Photos by Dan LeMoal, Aug. 1-3 at Shaw Park, Winnipeg.

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.

Digital Gum Wave 2: The Amarillo Thunderheads

We go deep south for the second American Association baseball card set. I only had two nights of shooting so I didn't get as good a look at the bullpen as I would have liked (one of the pitchers in this set, Joseph Brown, also doubles as the bench coach). And the official scorecard didn't list a number 14 on the roster, but through a little investigation I believe he's Tyler Urps, who was listed as having #1 on the scorecard. If you're an Amarillo fan and see any errors in the set, drop me a line! Photos by Dan LeMoal.
