Photo of the Day: Michael Young

I went to the Yankees-Rangers game last night and arrived just in time to see the Rangers take batting practice. So, I went down near the field and managed to take some cool photos.

Here's a photo I took last night of shortstop Michael Young. Just letting you know, I didn't mean to take a picture of him doing this. I just wanted a photo of him, and at the moment I pressed the button, he happened to move his hand there.

This photo was taken right after batting practice, so he was too busy stretching and warming up in the outfield to talk to fans. However, he did look over at me and gave me a little smile and wave. Well, it was either to me or the little kid next to me who kept on screaming "Michael!" But, I like to think that it's me. I think I have a new crush now.

I also managed to get a photo of myself with Kevin Millwood and another with Joaquin Benoit. Kevin laughed when I told him he's on my fantasy team (although I didn't tell him it wasn't my choice -- he was auto-drafted). Joaquin's goatee looks less annoying in person:

Benoit's crazy goatee.

By the way, you know what's annoying? There was this middle-aged guy next to me who kept yelling at Joaquin and some of the other players to give him baseballs. Even though they already gave him at least 5. Everytime a ball would go unnoticed on the ground, he would yell, "Joaquin!!! Pick that up!" He nearly knocked me over to catch a ball and didn't say sorry. When Joaquin came over to sign autographs,  the guy asked for another ball, and Joaquin said, "I saw you catch the ball I was throwing to a kid." So yeah, that middle-aged guy was annoying. Although he was nice enough to take those photos with my camera of me with the baseball players, so I'll give him that.
