25 assorted MLB icons / 20 Mussina bases

[ayrdaomei]

I'm pretty mentally useless after exams. I give you the results of some recent post-exam icon binges.

Behind the cut
01-07 Mussina (Mostly from the ALMOST AT AN END Yankees era), Jorge/Andy
08-14 A's (The Big Three, 1 Harden)
15-17 Wright, Reyes, Francoeur
18-23 Cards
24-25 Backe
26-45 Mussina bases (all NYY era)

Samples:
04. // 15. // 24.



Administrative Notes:
++ If you lift any of the first 25, credit and a comment is appreciated.
++ #26-45 are bases. I did very little to them besides crop, sharpen, and brighten a touch. Edit to your heart's desire. Credit is not necessary, though a comment would be cool. I'll forgo sharing bases in the future if there's no interest in them. It's just less coding for me when it comes time to post.

01. Mike Mussina with his pinpoint control and his softly wicked smile, standing on the mound like some sort of strange young king. . . . shamelessly stolen from [Bad username or site: candle_beck / @ livejournal.com].
03. break like a promise made - Tom McRae, Sau Paulo Rain
05. "We're none of us perfect." -- Methos, Highlander (Forgive Us Our Trespasses)
06. Shadows wait you when you rise / You hold the weight of every moment / Move no distance in your stride - Tom McRae, One More Mile
10-13. Original photos courtesy [Bad username or site: finntasmic / @ livejournal.com]. Perhaps 14 as well, I'm not sure. My friend [Bad username or site: johnnybvo / @ livejournal.com] on my newfound interest in the boys of Oakland, recent past and present: "Well, I'm glad you found a way to extend this season. Cause you get right crabby in November usually, and just before spring training? unbearable." Heh.
17. I was originally gonna caption this one "Nice pants", but my inner twelve-year old won out.
18. Seriously. Worst. Throwback Unis. EVER.
21. Fan grabbing some dirt after the last game at Busch. I love this picture. You know, there was almost WAY more of a Cards/Braves/Mets/Astros presence in this post, and then I remembered I don't care about the National League. This picture's cool, though :-P
24. I don't know. I really don't.
26-45. There are, no joke, perhaps a total of 5 images out there in the world of Mike Mussina in uniform and smiling. I wish to God I knew the context of what's going down in #37. I like to imagine Jorge and Derek are about to throw down over Moose's affections ^_~


I emailed TPTB at Gettyimages to let them know they had 4 photos of Kevin Brown and 1 photo of Jason Giambi miscaptioned as pictures of Moose. Man, doesn't anyone take pride in doing their job right anymore? Jason Giambi. I mean, honestly.

But you do care about those of us who care about the National League. And we appreciate the love. :-)

I suppose :-P Though really, curse you all! All of you, with your infectious enthusiasm. I'm following too many guys and teams as is :-P

Our infectious enthusiasm?!? I didn't even follow baseball until I met you! ;-)
