Here is a few of my cards from Tristars Pursuit Series 2 card set. I think that that it is a nice looking set of cards and I wanted to share a few of them on the blog. The photos that are mine are of Starlin Castro that I took in Daytona last year. In the set I also had a few cards featuring David Bromberg who pitched for the Ft. Myers Miracle last year.

My cards from the Florida State League Top Prospect Set
Today I thought I would mix things up a little bit and post my cards that were selected for the Florida State League Top Prospect set from this year. This was my first season shooting alongside Jerry Hale who has been with the Florida State League for the past 5 seasons.
Jerry asked me after last season if I would be interested in helpinghim out this year with the league. I took him up on the offer and had a
great time shooting for the FSL this year. I am already looking
forward to next year.

I was planning on posting these photos yesterday to try to catch up a little but I decided to first post the photos of Tyler Colvin who got his first Major League start for the Chicago Cubs yesterday instead. Last Wednesday I went back to Jacksonville to cover game 2 of the Southern League Finials between the Tennessee Smokies and the Jacksonville Suns. I got to Jacksonville with about 15 minutes before the game was due start and had a chance to say hello to some of the Cubs players that I have got to know in Daytona with the Cubs. It was really good to see some of the guys who I had not seen since the night Daytona won the Florida State League Championship last year.

The game featured 2 lefties going head to head with Jacksonville having Graham Taylor on the mound and the Smokies had Jeremy Papelbon. Graham Taylor pitched six scoreless innings while only allowing four hits. Jeremy Papelbon went six innings while only giving up 2 hits until the sixth inning when he allowed 2 runs to score on four hits.

The game was won by the Suns 2-1 and they took a 2 game lead to Tennessee. The Smokies were able to win on Friday night with a game winning single in the bottom of the 9th by Starlin Castro. Saturday night the Suns went on to win the Southern League Championship with pitcher Ehil Villanueva helping out his effort by hitting a 3 run home run in the 4th. The Suns won the Championship for the second since 2005 and it was also the first year for the Suns affiliation with the Florida Marlins. Bryan Peterson of the Suns was named the MVP for the series.
