Anyone have pictures of stadiums while they were on the field? Warning track photos are fine, but I think photos from the infield and outfield would be really cool.

was there in the summer of '91...
was one of the last parks without still photo boxes, if you were shooting the game you were on the field between the dugouts and backstop screen - hence the rules.
group 1 - johnny oats w/player, roberto kelly, view from visitors dugout, donnie baseball
group 2 - right field corner, my pal al trautwig, o's dugout, o's dugout towards lf.
o's photographer rules, the fella ernie tyler who supplied baseballs for the game kept an eye on photogs and kept them on their toes...

group 3 - roof open during bp, "steroid boy" mcguire, jays dugout, jorge "canadian-baseball-fans-can kiss-my-ass" bell doing an interview post-game.

View from the tunnel on the third base side. This is the tunnel the umpires use when they have to go inside to review a disputed home run call.

"I'm Rick Harrison, and this is my pawn shop."
I go to Mets Fantasy Camp, and each year there is a reunion during the Baseball season. We attend a ame, are introduced on te field, and the next day we actually get to play ball on the field in uniform. My Fantasy Camp group was the last to play at Shea and the first to play at Citi. Some appropriate pics from last year (June)at Citi follow.BTW--I'm #13, SHOTSKY n the pic by the batting cage, waiting for my turn to bat before the actual game. As you can see by the scoreboard, my team won--I scored! The final pic is taken from the dugout while my team batted--Ed Charles is the first base coach.:

Some pics from Camera Day at Anaheim Stadium, 8/16/87. Angels hosting the Oakland Athletics.
(these were taken with a 110 camera that was almost 10 years old back then, so the quality may not be the best. Also, this is my first pictyre post on BBF, so please bear with me)
Brian Downing:
Don Sutton:
Doug DeCinces:
Jerry Reuss:
(did that guy pitch forever or what? I had a rookie card for him in 1970! (when he was in the Cardinals system, though I don't think he came up for good until a year or so later), and there he is still active 17 years later. And I'm not sure that 1987 was his last year either (don't feel like looking it up on baseball-reference.com)
Darrell Miller:
(who is only the 3rd most famous athlete in his family)
Gary Pettis:

Part 2 from Camera Day at Anaheim Stadium 8/16/87
Manager Gene Mauch:
And since this is a stadium thread, the Anaheim Stadium scoreboard (this is the one that collapsed during the Northridge earthquake, despite being like 60 miles to the south):
As the festivities were winding down, and we were heading back into the seats, saw a familiar person in the Angels bullpen:
Could it be...
Indeed! Mr. October!
Reggie came onto the field as the fans were leaving, many fans were calling out to him to get him to pose for a picture, he ignored them all, but he made sure that he could be easily seenThat's Reggie, gotta love him
