I was the club photographer and co-founder of the Bleacher Creatures. We sat behind the home dugout and got pretty silly.

One of the pitchers got married on the field and I was the wedding photographer. That was especially cool, since the groom, Jeff Nelson, went on to a 12-year career in the majors, mostly with the Mariners and Yankees.

That's the best part of following the low minors: you get to know guys who go on to the majors when they're just kids. I knew at least half a dozen guys who went to the show, includin two all-stars (Nelson and Omar Vizquel).
