Jose Bautista of the Toronto Blue Jays hits a home run (way!) over Fenway Park’s Green Monster and the fans sitting on the Green Monster react.
Fenway Park turned 100 years old in 2012. I visited it for the first time.
In 2013 I’ll be watching most of my baseball games in Gwangju Mudeung Baseball Stadium, home of the Kia Tigers of the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO or 한국 야구 위원회).
Brandon McCarthy pitching for the Oakland A’s on May 12, 2012 at O.co Coliseum
In less than two months Spring Training 2013 will begin. Brandon McCarthy will be pitching for a new team (the Arizona Diamondbacks). After a poor showing in 2012 (.204, 1 HR, 6 RBIs), Daric Barton (pictured above playing first base) will be back with the A’s and will be hoping for something better than his 2010 season (.273, 10 HRs, 57 RBIs) instead of another 2012.

Stanford blocks a University of Oregon attempted kill by Martenne Bettendorf
Both Stanford and Oregon have made it easily through the first two rounds of the 2012 NCAA Women’s Volleyball National Championship Tournament. Later today, they both play again. Oregon goes up against BYU and Stanford takes on Iowa State. If they both continue to win they can meet in the championship game on December 15 in Louisville, Kentucky.

Today’s photos were taken last month when these two teams met in Eugene.
P.S. You can watch this game live on espn3.com.
I’m not sure how much of this photo is an optical illusion caused by my angle, but (considering the ladies around Carly are all about 6′ tall) doesn’t it look like Carly Wopat can leap about three or four feet into the air straight up?
A little different perspective compared to yesterday’s photo, although both photos were taken from the same seat in the Knight Arena. Alaina is the star of the University of Oregon Women’s Volleyball Team. She is also the current Miss Oregon, having won the title in late 2011.
Posters of Alaina Bergsma were being given out at Sunday’s game.
