Returns to the organization as Savannah Sand Gnats hitting coach. Dude sure knew how to pack a house: Are these Metfairy shots?

The top one is a crop of one of my shots that got picked up by Wikipedia.

I do get credited for the photos by my Flickr handle; I'm cool with that. I'm pretty sure I was sitting a few rows behind the visiting dugout. It was a day game in September. As has been observed, plenty of good seats were still available.

Could you get that kind of close-up detail on a batter by taking a picture from the outfield seats? Are you permitted to bring in a zoom lens with that kind of zoom/focus?

Robin Harris had this great routine about nod being a big enough celebrity to land Lakers tickets, so he became a fan of the Clippers, and they let him sit on the team bench. Eventually they said "what the hell?" and put him in a game. Next September, go for the bench.

I got this from the outfield during the All Star Game (I know the subject matter is icky) - The Mets have been making noise about banning professional equipment without really defining what professional equipment is (I have good equipment, although not professional grade). So far I haven't had an issue, but a friend of mine has had issues bringing in gear to the Citi. I have a point and shoot with a good zoom if it becomes an issue for me (although honestly, if they start harassing me about taking pictures then I'll be less likely to go to as many games in the future).

Good old Val. He hit his (Met) dinger, and he hung 'em up.

Torre in the background, tears falling down like soft rain.

Don't remember Val! Pascucci! at all but the pix are nice. Were you in Florida Metfairy?

No - Citi Field for a day game in September 2011.

Looks like a pretty day :)

Yes, but plenty of good seats were still available.
