The cool thing about this was while I was at a Brewers/Athletics ST game in March, my girlfriend and I and others took some pictures with him:

We were just hanging out in the stands after the game, when we see Huston, a camera crew, and a group of fans behind him. The photographer shouts, "anyone want to be in a shoot for ESPN the magazine." Obviously we hopped on that quickly, and we even sat next to him during the shoot! Buster Olney was there, and he was happy to be recognized, even by a punk like me.

Anyway, I think it's coming out tomorrow, and I am hoping we're in it!!

Was anyone else from AN in that shoot?

btw

i am guessing the olney article referenced in the diary right below is the article in the magazine.

more than likely, yes

There might be more in the print version, but I doubt it. Certainly there will be more pictures.

I like pictures. They're easy to read.

Hard work never hurt anyone, but I'm not taking any chances.

...and yes, the Olney article linked in the diary below is the same article that's printed in the magazine.

very cool

very cool -- though the lighting makes huston look kind of like a cardboard cut out

Evidence

Besides that being a great picture for you guys, I like how you have a Sharpie in your hand and she has an autographed baseball in hers, nice.

There's only one photo with fans

Is that sourstuff's girlfriend's shoulder next to Huston?

Short, Medium, Long

I'd love to watch the photo shoot. And of course we want to know what motivates some to wear the high socks. Does Huston's mom approve of the facial hair? Who are the roommates this season somewhere in the East Bay?
