Not a humongous baseball fan – although I do pride myself on having attended game 5 of the World Series back in 1995. (The Cleveland Indians beat the Atlanta Braves 5-4 and the city went WILD!!!) I have however been paying some attention to all the hype over pitching phenom Stephen Strasburg, especially after his major league debut with the Washington Nationals yesterday. Just a week or so ago he was pitching his final few games as a minor leaguer with the Syracuse Chiefs. I’ve never seen that stadium packed so tight! Thought I’d post a few so I can say “I knew him” when.

More photos here from the 5/29 game. And photos from Strasburg’s major league debut here.
