One of the great ambassadors of MLB and current manager of the Cleveland Indians, Terry (Tito) Francona, surveys the action while working a mouthful of bubble gum...
Processed in LRCC and PS...image taken last year during a late season home game with the Chicago White Sox...
ISO 200, f11 @ 12mm, 310secsVery noisy image, which was difficult to manage. Definitely a work in progress and I'll have to visit this site next full moon. Taken around 2:00am.
When we returned to the Maasdam in late afternoon a Celtic dance group was performing on the dock for the cruise ship passengers.
In anticipation of Game One of the World Series, here's the scoreboard of the original Comiskey Park in Chicago.
The old park was built in 1910 and torn down in the early 90s. It never attained the beloved icon status of its cross-town neighbor, Wrigley Field, but it had a beautiful, ragged-edged soul of its own.
(And look! At the moment I took this shot, the Sox were beating the "California" Angels 10 to 2.)

My husband and I have been to every current major league ballpark, and we have made these trips family affairs for the most part. Our youngest is our one baseball fan, but he missed out on the parks we visited before he was born.
As his 12th birthday approached, we noticed that the Cubs were playing a day game and the White Sox were playing a night game on that day. So we arranged for a surprise for him - we woke him early that morning, drove to the airport, and flew to Chicago.
On top of everything else that went right for this trip, including incredibly perfect weather, there was a surprise we hadn't anticipated. Right before entering Wrigley Field, a young woman in an Auto Trader t-shirt told us that Goose Gossage, who had been induced into Baseball's Hall of Fame one month earlier, was down the street, signing autographs!
I know that Goose was a fierce competitor on the mound, but he was the nicest guy in the world to my son on his birthday. He signed autographs, posed for a picture, and was just a sweetheart to him.
When we got home, my husband put together this shadowbox of our souvenirs of the day - the tickets from the Cubs and White Sox games, the card and glove that Goose Gossage autographed, and the picture of Goose with our son.
I know my son will have some wonderful birthday celebrations in his life, but he's going to be hard pressed to top this one!
Fireworks go off from the centerfield scoreboard every time the White Sox hit a home run at Guaranteed Rate Field.
My favorite among all the grinder rules. Below are all the grinder rules that were used throughout the Chicago White Sox historic championship season for the ages.

1. Win. Or die trying.
2. Be MVP, M T W T F S S (Jermaine Dye MVP Ad)
3. Bite worse than your bark.
4. Knowing what's coming and hitting what's coming--not the same thing.
5. Every pitch is full count. Every inning, the ninth. Every game, game seven.
6. The best seat in the house is often determined by the best players in the house.
7. Grinder ball requires speed, defense, and discipline. And immigration.
8. Play every game like it's your last.
9. Be realistic, expect miracles.
10. Only one statistic matters: W
11. When jumping on the White Sox bandwagon, do not, I repeat DO NOT, keep your hands and arms inside the wagon at any time.
12. There is only one acceptable reason not to hold onto the ball: Amputation
13. There is only one thing more valuable than ability. The ability to recognize it. (Ozzie Mgr. of Year ad)
14. It's a mother's right to yell at her boys.
15. Be a highlight reel.
16. Level the playing field. Preferably while the other team's on it.
17. Never be satisfied with what you have achieved. It pales in comparison to what you can achieve.
18. NEVER be late for the National Anthem. No matter what nation you're from.
19. A reputation is not built on what you are going to do.
20. Hot dog vendors don't take credit. (LaSalle Bank in park ATM's)
21. Thieves will be punished. Swiftly, harshly and repeatedly.
22. When attending a Chicago White Sox game, don’t blink.
23. When all is said and done, make sure you've "done" more than you said.
24. Play like there are no rules.—like gravity for instance.
25. A good outfielder doesn't see the wall. He tastes it.
26. Your hitting should serve as a warning. To low flying aircraft.
27. If the fence won't come to you, go to the fence.
28. Always give fans something they can take away from the game. Like the other team's pride.
29. Play like a star. Never act like one.
30. Good enough, isn't.
31. Never swing at foolish pitches. Unless they're foolishly belt high, right down the middle.
32. Respect respect.
33. The best way to get out of a hole is to dig deeper.
34. For some, it's not a choice. It's genetic.
36. You can't spell "win" without a few "k's".
37. Never walk. Even when you walk.
38. You're either counted on or counted out.
39. Be a man. Play like a boy.
40. None of us is as good as all of us.
41. Never underestimate the power of power.
42. For the good of the team, sacrifice your mind, body, and soul.
43. Step up to the plate even if you’re not stepping up to the plate.
44. There is more to baseball than peanuts and cracker jacks.
45. The best defense is a good win.
46. Respect the past, people that are shoeless, and anyone named Joe.
47. Flying does not make you superman. Getting up and making the throw to first for the force out, now that makes you Superman.
48. Be predictably unpredictable.
49. There are no starting pitchers. Only finishing pitchers.
50. Be head and shoulders and arms and legs and spine and torso above the competition.
53. There are always willing players: Those willing to do whatever it takes to win. And those willing to watch them.
54. If you can't take the heat get out of the batter's box.
55. It's called stepping up to the plate for a reason.
57. There’s power in numbers. Like #14, #23, #5, #24, #15, #25...
58. Never throw back a home run ball, even if it from the other team.
59. GO. GO. GO.
61. There is no "I" in team. But there is one in quit.

66. There is nothing loveable about losing.
68. World Champions has a nice ring to it.
69. There's always this year. (Well, and last year.)
71. If at first you succeed, repeat.

75. Heroes aren't made. They're rotated.
76. Pitch. Hit. Win. Repeat.
78. Ixnay on talkin' about the ayoffsplay

95. Be more than a one hit wonder.
96. Expect the unexpected at U.S. Cellular field, home of the White Sox.
98. Batters should fear your fast ball. Not because it can get them out. Because it can knock them out.
99. Intimidation can come in the form of a screaming 99 MPH fastball or a screaming 9 year-old.
162. Crying in baseball is acceptable only if champagne burns your eyes.
174. Hoist the city up on your shoulders. They'll return the favor.
