Cole Hamels!
If you didn't think there would be a Cole Hamels photo today, you are nuts. Also, if you thought I'd only put up one, you are again nuts.
First, let me say this. Great baseball weekend. Phils on Saturday, Red Barons and Hamels on Sunday. The seats were great in both places, but especially for the Red Barons game. A friend of mine, Marc, ordered the tickets last week with the requirements of being as close as possible on the first-base line and an aisle seat. After getting the seats, we are six rows off the field, directly behind the dugout. However, the Barons sit on the third-base side as their home dugout. But, Hamels is a lefty, so whamo.
Awesome seats. Great spot to sit, even though the Barons didn't tell us where we'd be sitting!
I'll discuss the weekend itself more on my website blog later in the week. As for the photos, I was pretty happy with being able to shoot Hamels so close. If his stuff stays as good as it is, he'll be pitching with the big team this summer I would think. And if he can stay healthy.
As for the photos -- all are obviously him pitching. The reason he has a pink T-shirt on is because the Barons all wore pink t-shirt uniforms for Mother's Day and breast cancer awareness. A pretty cool gesture, I thought. At least they weren't wearing the pink hats they gave away to women Sunday!

Not bad photos, even if the bottom two have a little blur to them.
It's pretty cool to be able to see what pitch he was throwing on both.
That top photo though is top notch and worthy of publication in a lot of newspapers.
