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 1: Winnipeg Goldeyes

Inspired by the 1981 Topps MLB cards, I decided to try my hand at a retro bubblegum card set for the American Association teams. First up is the Winnipeg Goldeyes, still a few more Fish to come. For players who have been traded, I'm using the old "Now with _____" notation. I seem to remember this notation style more on the Topps/O-Pee-Chee hockey cards than baseball, but memory is a tricky thing...enjoy!

Fish win two against formidable Saints

The Goldeyes were the first team to hand the St. Paul Saints back-to-back losses this season, with a 3-2 win at Shaw Park, July 12. Brady Wilson and Adam Heisler ran in the tying and winning runs. Photo by Dan LeMoal.
