Midwest AN Day 5/10/07 - The Video Diary

by sprtsnwyn on May 16, 2007 3:17 PM PDT

It seemed a video "diary" might be a cool way to let some of the AN members out there see what it's like to be at "The K" for a baseball game. This video is short but sweet, as it was a fantastic 17-3 A's beatdown of the Royals. I know that Nebraska was taking pictures, and smith1051 might also have some to add to this thread. And Jennifer, even though she doesn't like us, might have some to add, too. All in all, it was another good series win for your Oakland A's. Sadly, they don't make it back to K.C. this year, but a group of us are making the journey out to Oakland for the official AN Day against the Angels. Hope you guys enjoy the video. All credit on the video goes to ICTShockers, not me.

2 Jeremy Affeldt jerseys?

Wow.

Bring back Hammer.

very nicely done!

However I would have preferred at least one star wipe.

Nice!

So it goes.

A video to The Libertines- verry nice

Hopefully this is only installment 1 of 4 but thanks for using my ugly mug sparingly. What happened to Jay Marshall's family?

Nebraska should be posting something of substance sooner or later.

Didn't have room

But maybe they'll make the "Director's Cut".

the program we used to edit the video...

wasn't the best, but we could either have music or the sound from the video. I thought the Libertines was a good choice to showcase the Midwest AN crew. Once I get a little more time I will mess around and make another cut from the stuff we had in the parking lot, b/c there is some funny stuff in it.

Very nice...

Kaufmann Stadium looks like a nice place to watch a ballgame. Thanks sprtsnwyn and ICTShockers!

It's a little late...

...but I was only a lurker on AN last year. Thanks for letting me crash your tailgate party last August. (I brought a 6-pack of Boulevard and traded for some of your ribs, IIRC.) I had a great time in KC that weekend...saw 4 A's-Royals games, visited the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, saw a Bruce Cockburn show at the Grand Emporium which is a little hole-in-the-wall club down near the Plaza, all between Friday afternoon and Monday morning.

KC is on my list for a future return visit, and I'll recommend it to anyone else who is thinking about doing an A's weekend on the road.

Great video!

Hey! I don't stop by because I don't want to bother you guys. I also don't want you all to pretend to like me just so I won't cry! To make up for it, I'll add some photos:

Something weird happened on Tuesday. What, I don't know. Chad looks like he's going to kick some ass.

Snelling and Ross Gload

Just a few photos from Wednesday:

Thursday

Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh!

DJ rounding the bases after a HR.

MaEl and DJ's secret HR handshake.

Maybe he should have that checked out...

Cust's jack.

The last known photo of Chris Snelling breathing.

Shortly after:

Followed by:

RIP

Swish and Chavy looked concerned.

Danny Putnam tempts fate by taking over CF.

Something happened to DJ's glove. Everyone was waiting on him.

Finally, the ball Ty Waller tossed to me.

Travis Buck... [swoon]

Nick Swisher smeared Chavy's autograph. :(

(BTW, New AN cuts off certain photos. Links are there to open them in new windows. It also makes some photos too large. I don't want to take time to fix them.)

Oh yeah. We can't stand other A's fans ;-)

what's really fun

is carefully scrutinizing all of the photos in this diary for unidentified A's fans...

Cool video!

And great pics, too, Jennifer!

That signature was depressing me.

Terrific video!

I've always heard that KC had a great stadium and now I really want to go there sometime.
I even like the...um...running things. Beige Tic Tacs? Cockroach egg sacs?

Did you hear we signed Jack Cust?

It's the Hot Dog Derby!

Usually, it's a CGI scoreboard game. That day was special because of School Day at the K. They are giving away Hot Dog Derby shirts again this year. This time they say "Who's You Dog?" on the back. Last year's just had "Mustard," "Relish," and "Ketchup" written on the front.

Well I guess I'm not smart enough to post...

pictures anymore since they keep getting cropped when I try to post them. I've even resized them w/ Photoshop and AN still keeps cropping them. Anybody want to help?

Here is a slideshow for the time being...
