Spring Training, in pictures
ByMike’s Sunday-night Picture Day post showed that, hey, for all the talk of the off-season, there’s nothing like seeing some baseball players. The posed photos were often hilarious, often awkward, and all in front of some nondescript background.
So how about some practice photos instead? Via an e-mail from loyal reader and frequent commenter Brian comes the New York Yankees photos from Daylife.
- Everyone loves a good run except for maybe Jason Giambi.
- Derek uses Spring Training to practice his patented fist-pump. It takes a weeks of reps for him to get into in-season form.
- A-Rod is just asking for a funny caption.
- Bobby Abreu looks like he’s bulked up a bit.
- Shelley!
Soon, very soon, the games start, and then it’s just a short jaunt until Opening Day. I’m ready.

A-Rod looks like he’s getting ready for his dancing with the stars routine.
I wouldn’t be surprised if you did have to practice that fist pump to get it right. I am an inexperienced fist pumper, and I just about dislocated my shoulder at the end of the superbowl this year.
Take your time Derek, work yourself up to it!
