oops.. I lied. A couple bonus shots from Texas:
Finishing up the Rios series with a quick stop in KC
he's so pretty, my goodness, I'm so glad I indulged in this little bit of nostalgia
Rios: Texas edition!
I honestly didn't remember either Rios or JPA being with Texas...
Rios: just so pretty
Rios: he run, he hit, he grump! 😆
Rios, White Sox edition, part 2
Rios: White Sox edition.
so. yeah.
Rios week continues!
not the greatest picture, but this is the 2007 HR Derby... Among all these big dudes (Prince Fielder, Albert Pujols, etc), the two skinny guys got to the final round, where Vlad Sr beat Rios to win 😆
the whole derby is on youtube (all 2.5 damn hours of it), but maybe start here at the final round (about 2:07). my goodness, what a beautiful swing Rios has, while Vlad Sr is just up there hacking. Fantastic fun!
and playing for PR in the WBC!
