Photo Ops at The Ballpark

Back in May, I wore my Roberto Clemente jersey to a Pirates-Giants game at PNC Park, and upon seeing all the folks there in Giants gear, I hit upon an idea for a photo opportunity, and when I saw a guy wearing a certain Giants jersey, this photo was taken:


Followed soon by this photo:


This whole idea became a quasi-obsession as I determined to seek out certain jerseys worn by fans of the visiting team to take similar pictures.  Here are the results:


I wanted to find a "Musial" jersey, 
but was more than happy with Bob Gibson.


No, the Pirates didn't play Detroit here, 
but I couldn't pass up this one.





The goal last night was Ernie Banks, 
but Ryne is a Hall of Famer, too.

Everyone that I have approached for these pictures have been more than accommodating, and, in fact, often end up taking a similar picture themselves, and it has always sparked some nice conversations.

Not sure if I will get to PNC Park again this year, but if I do, there is a possibility that I could see the Royals (George Brett) and/or the Brewers (Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, Hank Aaron, Rowdy Tellez).  I also need to get one with a Willie Stargell and Dave Parker jerseys.

As Linda puts it, just another example of "Bob doing Bob things."
