Being that it was Mother's Day, pink ribbons and bats were the style. Early on, as Seattle took the lead, NY switched back to regulation bats. That offended motherfood, and they went down to flaming defeat.

I hadn't the faintest idea you were a baseball fan... I don't know why, but it just blows me away... I don't understand a single thing the size of a truck about it... Sorry... But then again, I've never been much into team sports...
There's something similar in Seattle's coast line with NYC... It's as if I were coming back to Manhattan by boat after visiting Elly's Island... Nice memories!...

Oh, once again, great photos!
Baseball is the only team sport I like to watch or to attend. Something artistic about it. It is the only sport where the defense is the one who controls the ball. All others involved the offence with the ball. And unlike others, it is not a big grunt-fest. And ohmygod many of the players are soooooo hot looking.
