Bullfrogs Bring on the Closer

The Bullfrogs bring on the Closer. Note the menacing green and orange socks.

I think this a changeup or a splitter that he's throwing.

And the Runner Is Safe

Luckily they managed to strand him that inning. Only a few more games left this season!

The Bullfrogs are part of the Northwoods League. Each team has a GM which signs college players from North America (unpaid) to their teams. Because of this the players turn over often due to being drafted or graduation.

And the Runner Goes

What can I say ... Sunday was a beautiful day for a ball game ... or two, I was at the T-Rats game in Grand Chute just prior to this. This was one of their better offensive games this year. The Bullfrogs have good pitching this year but not enough offense to win consistently.

The Bullfrogs play at Joannes Stadium near East High School on the East Side of Green Bay. It's affectionately called "The Jo" and hosted many minor league teams in the past. The Bullfrogs aren't a minor league team they are a in summer college league ... more on that tomorrow.

"... stride into the ball, turn of the wrist, crack, jog and touch 'em all!"

Peter Cooper - 715 (for Hank Aaron)

Best I could with a chain link fence in front of me. They'll be more from this game this week. This is from the local baseball team, the Green Bay Bullfrogs. This wasn't really a home run but it was the best picture of good bat/ball contact I got. More on the Bullfrogs this week.

The quote is from the song 715 (for Hank Aaron) off the album Mission Door. You can tell he has local ties by the song Sheboygan. The song is about baseball, racism and other things from baseball's and times past. If you like, you can find more information about this at his web site.

Also, this is my first photo on the blog to use manual focus ... maybe I am getting better.
