D3baseball.com Daily Dose

Inside my apartment is cool, outside it is raining and I have the radio playing Prairie Home Companion which is live from a softball field in Lanesboro, Minnesota. It has only been four days since I returned to Minneapolis from Grand Chute and the Championship Series but it seems like forever and a day ago.

I just finished editing the last of the games and put them on our partner website Pictureprints.net. 4,776 photos from the 14 games out of 10,000+ taken by myself, Ashlee Carmody and Larry Radloff.

For my first trip to the Fox River Valley for baseball, it was a great experience and I cannot see a reason why I will not return next year. Hang on one second.

Ashlee and Larry did a great job covering the tournament for us despite a freak injury off Daniel Maycock’s bat to Ashlee’s left foot. We hope her big toe heals quickly. A special thank you to the Cortland State trainer who was immediately on the scene of the accident and helped Ashlee get her toe on ice and keep the swelling at bay. She’s a trouper, I tell you. She came back the next afternoon and continued to shoot and stayed through days three, four, and five.

As I said we have 4,776 photos from the Championship Series on Pictureprints.net and we also have an additional 10,000+ photos from 50 more baseball games this year. Next year we hope to have more games covered from more locations than just Minnesota and Grand Chute.

Thank you to all of you out in the ether that helped make the first year of D3baseball.com a successful one! I hope to meet some of you next year at the 2008 series.
