aka "Meatball"

Battle Creek Yankees pitcher Jaime Saldana pitches to Demetrius "Meatball" Heath of the West Michigan Whitecaps on April 12, 2003, at Battle Creek's C.O. Brown Stadium. The obviously-alert second baseman is Gabe Lopez. Photograph taken from Box 20, from which I've watched many a ballgame.

I took hundreds of similar pictures this summer, documenting the way the BC Yanks looked on the field. Until yesterday, a sampling of those pictures was available on my other website, but I've taken them down because they were part of a failed experiment in--well, blogging. I've got a soft spot for this pic, and have saved it from the bit bucket.
