Pawsox game summarized
Here I had a chance to do a kind of photomontage that I've wanted to try for a while, where I can sit in the same spot for a few hours and capture snippets of things that happened over time. In this case, the opportunity was a minor league baseball game at McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket, RI, where the "Pawsox" played the Columbus Clippers.
Here, we have everything from Bill Littlefield of WBUR's Only a Game sports news show having thrown the ceremonial first pitch, to the field attendants "painting" the word "Pawsox" in the dirt behind home plate, to the Pawsox replacing their pitcher, to a pitch, the delivery, and a batter about to swing at the ball. I then have the Red Sox team walking off the field after the game, and the pitcher being interviewed by a reporter about his victory.
Meanwhile, the same day, former Boston/Pawtucket star Jim Rice was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame up in Cooperstown, NY. For obvious reasons, this was unable to be included here, but believe me I tried to think of a way.
Annoyingly, the one thing I didn't think to get a picture of was the final scoreboard. Oh well, suffice to say the Pawtucket Red Sox defeated the Columbus Clippers 3-2, which is nice, because it sounds like they had been on a losing streak recently.
It was also my son's first baseball game, and he seemed to have a good time :-)
