 I'm afraid my respectful stance for the National Anthem includes a camera if Mark's there to take his cap off. |

 I wonder if he saw the giant sign I hung off the roof box. |

 Purely from an aesthetic perspective, I like the way the light and shadow worked out here. (Could have done without the base hit..) |

 But first: note where that foot lands, and then where Wake's foot has been landing. |
 Mark's Day. A Slide Show. |
 Sitting with Andy! |
 Let's get something to drink! |
 Why, I've been sitting on a cooler! |
 Mmmmmmm! |
 How about some Sunflower Seeds? |
 Maybe adjust my hat? |
 sigh... |
 Adjust my shoes... |
 ... my armbands... |
 ... my short pants (which I'm keeping, thank you very much)... |

 I didn't get any photos of Mark celebrating, but I'm sure he'll make the playoff roster. |
 "Hmmn... Maybe if I get Jeter all hyped up in the locker room about tomorrow's game, he'll go out and do something dumb in the first inning and I can play tomorrow...!" |
