Fuji Film Photo Day at U.S. Cellular Field

~August 8, 2004~

On Photo Day, a specific number of fans are allowed to go onto the warning track and take pictures with the players who walk along the rope line.
(And I apology for the poor quality of the pictures.  We were using a disposable camera that was supposedly for the outdoors so there was no flash.)

Jon Adkins 37 Pitcher Shorter than I imagined...  Quiet guy from WV
Roberto Alomar 12 Second Base Little Brother; Future Hall of Famer, Matt was thrilled to take this with him!
Sandy Alomar
 
15 Catcher Big Brother; the Original Buehrle Security Blanket
Joe Borchard 25
 
Outfield (mainly Right) Expressed waaay more emotion at this year's Photo Day; kinda scared me & Christine
Mark Buehrle 56 Pitcher Chris's favorite... even with the beard.... maybe.  Pulled her in nice and close.
Jamie Burke 27 Catcher Really nice guy; the New Buehrle Security Blanket  (and Matt looks like that cuz he's answering Jamie)
Neal Cotts 46 Pitcher "Cotts is Hotts" ... 'nuff said =)  (No really, he's got really pretty blue eyes.)
Joe Crede 24 Third Base Joe is such a sweetie.  Oh and we saw him in Denny's >=)
Ben Davis 31 Catcher "Big Ben"; really tall, but super nice guy 
Carl Everett 8 Outfield Carl's a different sort of guy, but was nice nonetheless.
Freddy Garcia 34 Pitcher Christine really wanted to take a pic with him
Jon Garland 20 Pitcher My favorite.  Christine thinks it's cute that he bent down.  (He's 6'6")
Ross Gload 26 Bench (First Base, some Outfield) Nice guy; quite possibly has found a home with a team, finally.
Willie Harris 1 Second Base Willie was cute.  He signed a ball for the little boy next to us, even though he wasn't supposed to.
Mike Jackson 38 Pitcher Truthfully, no one really wanted to take a pic with him, but Matt & I sucked it up.  Nice guy, I guess.  Bad pitcher.
Paul Konerko 14 First Base Paulie!!!!  What's not to love about him?
Damaso Marte 43 Pitcher Another nice guy; likes to keep to himself.
Timo Perez 7 Bench (Outfield) Timo looks like it's a mugshot.  Maybe he's smiling with his eyes.
Cliff Politte 18 Pitcher Really nice guy.  Poor guy missed the end of the season when he had his appendix removed!
Aaron Rowand 33 Center Field A-Row!!  Another favorite of mine.  Nice guy.  Great player!
Scott Schoeneweis 60 Pitcher Scott kinda looks like something smells funny.  I know it's the sun, but still...
Shingo Takatsu 10 Pitcher Matt's favorite.  He really was excited to take this picture.  But poor Shingo... a little overwhelmed, I think.
Juan Uribe 5 Bench (Any Infield position but First) Nice guy (I know, I keep saying that, but they are!)  And he really is smiling!  Stupid sun... stupid disposable camera!
Jose Valentin 22 Shortstop Jose, Jose, Jose, Jose, Jose, Jose!  Kinda looks like he jumped in the shot.  Oh well!
 
       
Ozzie Guillen 13 Manager Another one Chris wanted really bad.  He was rushed cuz he's such a chatterbox!  Former Sox player...
Harold Baines 3 Bench Coach Known for being a quiet guy.  Former Sox player...
Joey Cora 28 Third Base Coach He's so little, it's so cute!  Former Sox player...
Rafael Santana 17 First Base Coach Replaced this offseason by Tim "Rock" Raines, a former Sox player...
Greg Walker 29 Hitting Coach He's from Georgia and I love to hear him talk.  Former Sox player... see a pattern here?
