And our main “2008 AAU Photos” page now has the shot of the Champions, Mac’s Sprayers.
Gallery 6 includes Jeff Wilson, pitching for the Fury of Ontario, Canada. Jeff will be with the Vancouver Grey Sox in 2008.
Another of Sebastian Gervasutti, similar to the one which currently graces the cover of Fastpitchwest. I like this one better, as it’s a bit sharper and close up. The other one (on the cover of FPW) is an interesting one, focused through the chain link fencing, which gives it that “cross hatch” effect. Sebastian has been getting plenty of work in this winter, and looked to be in mid-season form in Orlando. He is currently in Central America, pitching there for the next month or so. Lots of torque being applied to the ball in this shot, and seemingly every pitch he throws.
Todd Budke reaches for the ball, just ahead of the runner in this one., and enjoys a chat with Broken Bow teammate, Rhys Casley in this shot.That duo is going to put a hurt on some pitchers come summer.
The range of Maddy’s long lens helps run down the ball on display here.
I used to think the A-1 Tank’s striped pants were the ugliest I had ever seen, but not now.. You’ll see plenty of those thumbing through Softball Magazine — in the slo-pitch section. The cards and letters from A-1 are rolling in already. Truthfully, when you scored 10 runs a game like those guys did, I guess you can wear whatever you darn well please.
Perfect form on display by Dean Holoien, of Broken Bow. I imagine that Dean found Orlando a bit warmer in January than his hometown of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.
Illinois always sends a good size contingent of players to the AAU, welcome respite from the midwest winters. I don’t know who the PK Broward players are in this one, or this one, but perhaps of of the Illinois Forum members will email me and let me know.
