The future A's were playing... well... the near future A's. The Ports actually won 3-2 in a 7-inning exhibition contest where innings ended randomly.
Here are some of the shots I got last night. The entire album is here. Let me know if that doesn't work, I'll upload them to Flickr when I get home tonight.
It probably goes without saying, but please, ask me first if you want to use these pictures.

2B Michael Affronti and C Raul Padron signing autographs
Giovany Gonzalez, who should really go by that instead of Gio:
1B Daric Barton. Hmm... he seems familiar.

The bullpen watching as Gio gets ready
Area code 305 - Miami, FL. Gio was born in Hialeah, a town northwest of Miami.

I have no idea how to end this, so here's a ballboy with a cup on his head.
