Cleveland Or Bust

I’m hitting the road again, this time for Cleveland (my first time to the Jake!) to go to the Sox-Indians games tonight and tomorrow. I am simultaneously thrilled and terrified. It’s going to be a wild ride, and I can’t wait.

I’m going to try to post from the wilds of Ohio, but I’ll leave you with these things, just in case.

First up, the neatest idea for a video I’ve seen in a while: the Boston Globe set up a still camera to take time-lapse photos of the pitcher’s mound throughout Game 1 of the ALCS, and then they turned those photos into a video. With “Black Betty” as the soundtrack. Seriously cool.

And because y’all asked for it:

You can buy them at the Center Field Store — and they’re all at cost, I’m not making any money on them. If anyone has ideas for other shirts you want to see, shoot me an email.

    That video is great! They should do it for each game, but try and get the scoreboard in the shot because you could kind of “follow” what was going on then. Have a good time in Cleveland, I hope a lot of Sox fans made the trip!

    TG – you are a god-send. I’m totally ponying up for one of those Team Beckett T-shirts. And I’m totally wearing it to Fenway next year! I’ll totally be the girl stalking Josh Beckett – and proudly wearing that shirt when carted off in handcuffs!

    Enjoy the Jake, point any nasty bugs towards the Indians and way a little prayer for Dice-K!

    re the shirts, would it be possible to put the little subtitle descriptive stuff you wrote in the original post on them? just wondering.

    I just splurged on some fabulous flat boots and a pair of Joe’s Jeans, but my next paycheck is gonna have Mr. Papelbon’s name on it.

    beth- like, on the front underneath the team name? or on the back instead of the numbers. I’m happy to add to the designs and put up some more shirts- no problem.
