Photos OAK vs. NYY Sunday

Hey everyone! This is my first photo attempt so bear with me. This gives me new admiration for the other photogs on AN at getting great shots. On Sunday, the line was so long to get in, we pretty much missed the A's batting practice, even though we arrived early for once.

Here are some shots of the Bombers practicing (scroll down if pinstripes make you queasy!):

OK, photos of our boys warming up. You can see my seats were in the second deck but I did manage to get near the field during warmups.

Blanton and Haren were doing an "autograph for charity" event down along third base, but I only saw Haren signing.

Then I spotted Huston signing autographs near the bullpen but alas, there were too many heads in the way to get a good shot. Here he is running by after many minutes signing for people.

The game got under way, but we just didn't have it to beat the Yanks :(

A bright spot was Street in the 9th, as always.

And my mom was very impressed with the drums all during the game.... she said "Oakland's band has really improved recently!"

Did they interview him?
I didn't see where they went after they put the mic on him... maybe a pre-game interview?

It wasn't ESPN
It was channel 4 news, KRON 4. I have a pic of him doing the interview in my Diary for today.

I didn't get home in time to see it. =( But I am sure it was good!
