Jamie Flynn pitching in the rain for the AHS Grizzlies (May 2013)
April brings back baseball. This time of year games in the rain isn’t uncommon. Phoenix High School will be coming to North Mountain Park to play today at noon.

Next Monday (March 24, 2014) during Spring Break the Oregon Ducks Baseball Team will be travelling down I-5 to Medford’s Harry & David Field for a workout, scrimmage, and a meet and greet with the fans.

Unfortunately, the game the Ducks lost was the game when I was there. Ryan Riga tossed a complete game shutout with 10 Ks for the Buckeyes in the rain on Saturday evening when I took today’s photo. The Oregon Ducks were trying anything to get on base including many bunt attempts.
Cole Irvin of the Oregon Ducks
In a few hours I’ll be shooting the Oregon Ducks as they take on the Ohio State Buckeyes in Eugene today.

The Oregon Ducks play their first game of the season in Eugene at 6 p.m. today. I’m getting the itch to head up the highway to catch a game or two. It’s been too long since I’ve last seen live baseball.
The first baseman in today’s photo, Danny Hayes of the OSU Beavers, was drafted by the Chicago White Sox. The pitcher, Andrew Moore, was only a freshman when I took this, and in addition to winning the Pac-12 Freshman Player of the Year Award, he was also named to the Baseball America All-America First Team.
Autzen Stadium, PK Park, and Pape Field panorama
I suppose an animal with eyes on the sides of its head could view the University of Oregon’s three sporting venues (football, baseball, and soccer) all at once. Us humans need to photomerge six photos together to see them at the same time. This is a 180 degree view from the deck next to the Autzen Stadium Press Box at halftime this past Saturday.
A’s fans in AT&T Park
The Oakland A’s are just 11 wins from one of the most improbable championships in the history of the game.
Josh Donaldson of the Oakland Athletics
Money can’t buy you love. Nor can it buy you a ticket to the post-season in MLB. The A’s clinched the American League West title earlier today with a payroll less than half that of the San Francisco Giants. The Giants will be lucky not to come in dead last in the National League West.
Adam Rosales drops a pop up
My A’s have been struggling lately. They recently released Adam Rosales, pictured above missing a usual out earlier this year. The Texas Rangers then picked him up but he didn’t actually play for them before they cut him. The A’s then signed him again only to release him again. Believe it or not, the Rangers then claimed him again! The poor guy seems to be in limbo. I always liked his hustle.
