Find yourself at Yankee Stadium

As part of an example of what NASA imaging technology can do, mosey on over to this nifty applet on Sports Illustrated’s Website. The image — a composite of 124 frames shot over 10 minutes — shows just how detailed GigaPan technology can be. If you were at the Yankees-Red Sox game on July 4th, odds are pretty good that you can find yourself, in high res, in that photo. Oddly, because of the time lapse, Matsuzaka is just finishing up a pitch while A-Rod has stepped out of the box. (Hat tip to Bryan Hoch.)

Make sure you vote for Title Town USA. There is a big Boston NY heated debate on ESPN. Boston fans are the most obnoxious fans I have seen. NY fans of course are a close second without the snooty uppity attitude. Make sure you vote NY, it is a no brainer.

Another odd thing is that there are no infielders on the left side.

Actually it was Beckett pitching, but I totally see myself! And that smoking hot girl sitting in front of me that I didn’t have the balls to talk to!

I’m bummed that they took it from the RF vantage point, thus obscuring the Loge up the first base line. My season tix are there and I woud’ve loved to have seen myself!
