This past weekend (Friday, Saturday AND Sunday to be exact) we were at the GLBL Early-Bird Qualifier baseball tournament in Richmond Heights and Painesville.  37 teams scheduled for multiple games at multiple locations over 3 days.  After the rain cancelled a few games and sent a few teams “packing”, baseball got back underway mid-way through Saturday.

Below are a few images of “America’s Favorite Pasttime”, our booth and some other things that caught our eye… oh yeah… and the mud!

(This wasn’t the way I was planning on breaking in a new pair of tennis shoes, but the show must go on!)

2-finger fastball?

“The Tools of the Trade”… I love how the light was highlighting all the different colors and designs on these bats in the dugout!

Here’s a catcher looking over to the dugout

And away it goes!

This guy’s at the ready and looking good in his colorful shades

This is our crew between games hangin’ out at our booth and refueling for the next hour of games.  A special thanks go out to Cari, Jennifer, Stacey (my lovely wife), Jessica, Kristin and Tim (sorry Tim, ladies first)!

At the ready…

Eyeing up the ball just before contact…

Here’s an example of a custom-designed 8×10 collage that we are offering for this tournament… looks good doesn’t it?

Lastly, I leave you with an image of this guy.  What is he doing at a baseball tournament you ask?  We are asking the same thing.  He would fly over the fields very low back-and-forth.  He even dropped a little toy army man with a parachute that sailed down and landed right on the field.  They had to stop the game and a little boy ran out to get it.  I’m sure it was his “prize” for being at the tournament all weekend for his big brother.

Hope you enjoyed it!  We’ll talk soon.  Tim
