Scenes From an All-Star Game

Tonight I went to the Northwest League All-Star Game. Above, my ticket; below, the marquee...

The NWL is a short-season A league, consisting of eight teams from Washington, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia. The Everett AquaSox hosted the game; this is the best ad in the ballpark...

Finally, that's me with ZOOperstar Ichiroach Suzuki...

For the record, the South won, 8-7.
