A's Authentic Road Jersey???

KMoAsFan — Fri, 09 May 2008 03:45:16 -0000

I've been trying to find an Authentic Road jersey for a couple days now, but the only size available anywhere is 60. I don't get it, do they not make the gray "Oakland" jerseys anymore? The Majestic site supposedly has them, but according to the lady on the phone they don't ship for 10 days, even with 2nd day shipping. I'd like to have it for next weekend's series in ATL, any ideas where I can find a size 40 one of these things??? http://shop.mlb.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2481411&clickid=body_rv_img

You're not in Oakland anymore, Swish

Apparently Nick Swisher was the instigator of some controversial clubhouse antics. One can't help but wonder if this would have been as "inflated" if it were in Oakland. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/whitesox/935402,CST-SPT-ssep07.article

When I crop I go with a standard format for this camera: 720x480 (or 480x720) and 500x500. I wanted less of the out of focus area at the bottom but if I kept Putnam centered in the shot it'd be too narrow vertically. This is how it ended up.

Going through the stuff I got at the Omaha/Sacramento game today, I had a shot of Sacramento's Danny Putnam diving and coming up just short on a shallow fly ball. This is the original, unedited, shrunk down from its size of 3872x2592. The next one will show how I worked around the focus in the foreground to end up with a keeper.

From a couple of years ago, but there's nothing not awesome about the expression on Crosby's face.
