Today’s photo comes from 10 years ago. I had just purchased my first DSLR, and I didn’t know what I was doing. When this photo randomly appeared on my screen a few minutes ago, I thought “delete”, but then I decided to see what Topaz DeNoise AI could do with it. The answer: saved from the trash!

EXIF data:

Had I known then what I know now the EXIF data would be something like:
1/160
ISO 100-400
f/8
RAW

Miguel Batista pitching for the New York Mets in 2012

On the night I took this photo (6/24/12), Batista took the loss after giving up a score-tying home run to Robinson Cano in the 8th inning. The Mets released him a month later.

Nick Swisher in a pickle

@NickSwisher

An average player can steal a base 2/3 of the time. A good base runner can do so 3/4 of the time. Nick Swisher did it less than 1/2 the time. And this concludes today’s math lesson.
