In August/September of 2009, my girlfriend took me to Fenway Park for a three-game series between the Blue Jays and Red Sox as a birthday gift.
For one of the games, we splurged on StubHub and picked up some very expensive tickets in row G, right by the visitors’ dugout. What resulted are some awesome close-up shots of some Jays, most notably Cito Gaston and Travis Snider, including this gem.
This is Cito, out of the dugout, presumably to confirm John McDonald’s entrance into the game at SS after coming on as a pinch runner for the injured Marco Scutaro. In the background, Canadian right-hander Scott Richmond is warming up.
Anyways, with a little bit of photoshopping: a tighter crop, some slight levelling to darken it a bit and a little less magenta and more yellow to bring out the green of the field, and you get this.
Cito Edit
Also, the Internet ruins my photos. This looked a lot better in photoshop.
