March 2010 Tearsheets

February 2010 Tearsheets

January 2010 tearsheets

I'll put my favorites up by month. Here are a few from January, 2010 that I liked pretty well.

Basejumper

Dexter is the man. Utley is the man. Dexter won this mano-a-mano battle between two men.

12 October 2009: Rockies outfielder Dexter Fowler leaps over Phillies 2nd baseman Chase Utley after Utley fielded a ground ball in the basepath and was unable to tag Fowler. No outs were recorded on the play during a National League Division Series game between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado. The Phillies beat the Rockies 5-4 and won the series 3-1.

May 10, 2010 - Phillies at Rockies

The Rockies had a nice game going, but terrible defensive mistakes like Brad Hawpe dropping a shallow pop fly that he did get to, and the implosion of interim closer Manuel Corpas, the Phillies prevailed 9-5. I caught most of the key moments, including the dropped ball and Ross Gload's 3-run homer in the top of the ninth that basically sealed the deal for the Phils.

Colorado Rockies right fielder Brad Hawpe drops a fly ball, which would have been the third out of the inning.

Colorado Rockies center fielder Dexter Fowler rounds 2nd base on his way to 3rd.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Wilson Valdez (right), catches the ball and collides with third baseman Placido Polanco (27) on a disputed play (Wilson appeared to drop the ball).

Philadelphia Phillies' Ross Gload hits a 3-run pinch hit homerun in the 9th inning during a regular season Major League Baseball game between the Colorado Rockies and the Philadelphia Phillies at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado. The Phillies defeated the Rockies 9-5.

2008 and 2009 Pro and collegiate sports tearsheets

I pulled these together for ICON and thought I would post them here as well. I save down screenshots and scans of the published work I can find, so here they are for 2008 and 2009. I'll post the first half of 2010 later this year. I actually have tons of these but this is an edit of some of my favorites and / or more prominently placed shots.

2008:



An interesting perspective on campaign finance used Manny Ramirez's salary to make the point.

2009

My favorite assignment ever? Maybe. My press pass? Resembled a strip club wristband.

Goalie action.

This shot gave me an opportunity to say "hey" to this nice gal. My image is the girl on the left.

Loved this usage.

Holliday has always sold lots of images for me.

Blown calls of the playoffs. This was terrible as it was part of the reason that series didn't go 5 games......

April 26, 2010 - Diamondbacks at Rockies

A three-run homer from Adam LaRoche and a pair of runs later on would hand the Rockies an opening game loss against the Dbacks. This Monday night game though was special for being the 15th anniversary of Coors Field opening night, where Dante Bichette smacked a walk-off homerun in the bottom of the 14th inning on April 26, 1995. Bichette threw out the first pitch to former teammate Larry Walker and was recognized by the owners of the Rockies. I grabbed a decent frame of the former Blake Street Bombers after the ceremonial first pitch.
Former Rockies players and Blake Street Bombers Dante Bichette, right, and Larry Walker share a laugh after Bichette threw out the ceremonial first pitch during a ceremony for Bichette before a regular season Major League Baseball game between the Colorado Rockies and the Arizona Diamondbacks at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado.

Colorado Rockies second baseman Clint Barmes (12) can't handle a throw from the catcher attempting to throw out Arizona Diamondbacks center fielder Chris Young stealing 2nd base.

Dan Haren was good, striking out ten Rockies in 8 innings of work.

It wasn't actually THIS cold. But thanks to this ump for the image.
