Which goes to show, art is all about representation - because last time I was in Phoenix I was pretty unimpressed. But then, I was on a business trip, so I mostly saw interstates, hotel rooms, and office parks. <br />Graciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05641028266038110278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963402677916553399.post-57622095851053590412015-03-14T16:50:22.866-05:002015-03-14T16:50:22.866-05:00Looks like you've had other things on your min...Looks like you've had other things on your mind apart from your legs.

He was truly one of the greats! I'm not a Dodger fan at all, but I really respect Sandy Koufax and wanted to watch their young shortstop, Corey Seager. The Padres should be good this year, but I don't think there will be as many homeruns in that large ballpark that everyone thinks there will be with that lineup. We face the same thing here in KC. But Shields will give you 200 quality innings and Cashner is a stud. Plus, I think Yonder Alonso is really underrated and will come into his own this year with more protection in that lineup. Have a great weekend!Jim ... 50after40https://www.blogger.com/profile/14165153305680378261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963402677916553399.post-60328540620532236092015-03-14T09:44:57.765-05:002015-03-14T09:44:57.765-05:00Mr Jim, Most Excellent Post!!!! Thanx for the kind...Mr Jim, Most Excellent Post!!!! Thanx for the kind words right off the bat. Your 1st photo of Eric sucked me in. I mean look at the extension he has in his arms. Those seats were exactly where you should have been!! Holy Smokes!! Love the caption of Jarrod SLAPPING the ball into play!! Your wife is as beautiful as the rainbow over the freshly washed clean Phoenix landscape. And that photo of Beltra smelling his bat, dude, only players and fans like us appreciate the game. Its A Magical Shot and I hope you enter that photo in your local county fair this summer. I can't stand the SMELL-A Dodgers but that shot of Sandy Koufax is priceless!!! Thanx 4 the sculpture photo as well and I bet it was stellar in person. Again, thanx 4 the mention and I can't thank you enough 4 posting all the photos. Totally made my day and brought back memories of waiting 4 the late Tony Gwynn to come out and sign balls. Tooting my our horn, T Gwynn only made the cover of SI once and I have it signed and framed. YES…. Play Ball…..
