Pictures from Rangers final home game

Have a bunch of pictures I took at the colossal meltdown of a final home game.

Rangers Final Home Game 2009

It was a great day out for baseball, unexpectedly warm and sunny after weeks of wet weather.

Players were greeting fans at the gates. I went through the first base entrance where they had CJ Wilson, Josh Hamilton, Doug Mathis, Pedro Strop, Mike Maddux and Jackie Moore.

The players were just supposed to greet people and hand out 2010 schedules, a bit of a crowd started to congest the entrance when players started signing autographs as people entered. I guess the crowd around Hamilton got too big and security put a stop to it.

Was a great game until the end when the massive fail happened. Horrible way to end the season.

Below are just a few from the album:

I had to change my pants more than once when I was in attendance because of him.

He made another awesome barehanded grab at this game

Was the spring training schedule included on the 2010 schedule?

If it was, could someone please post it. I have some dates in mind for March, and would love to know who/where the Rangers are playing.

Ansd if I missed it somewhere else sorry.

Loves those little teams that can.

Good pics.

Did you have good seats or a good lens?

Thanks

Good seats and an average lens.

I was on row 5 on the first base side, used a cheap 55-250 lens hopefully I have a better one next year.

Do you have a photoblog?

Besides the photobucket stuff, I mean.

No. Been meaning to setup a site

In the meantime I just upload to picasa or flickr when I have something to share.

Ive hit the limit for what I can upload with the free flickr account though.

This site is pretty decent -

Kind talented people from around the world comment on your pics. One per day – which sounds limiting but is the way to go, IMO. Just convert everything to 800 px wide for the perfect fit. You can easily link it to aggregate communities if you’re into jacking your hit stats up. Lemme know when you take the plunge, I’ll bookmark you.
