However when we finally got to go back in July I got some sketches in!
Washington Nationals @ Houston Astros - 07/10/09
On this page: Junction Jack, Roy Oswalt, and center field
This was a game we went to in desperation. It'd been over a month since we'd last gone to a game (May 21 I think?) so my mom and I were having withdrawals.
Florida Marlins @ Houston Astros - 08/18/09
On this page: Bud Norris, Berkman, Gervacio
This was mom's birthday game. Do you know how rarely they play a game at home on her birthday? Or mine for that matter?! So we knew since the end of last season that we were going to this game.
I got a lot of great little sketches out of this game. I also have a lot of new players that I haven't drawn before... Norris, Coste, Gervacio...
Also, before the Nationals game in July, I was bustin' my buns to get a poster done only to have it finished in time for the Marlins game instead. Oh well.
Jeff Keppinger really impressed me at the beginning of the season. He really helped out the team a lot in several games. He's not much of a starter though and has only been pinch hitting every so often so it's sort of rough having a poster for him. Especially with how infrequently I've been to games this year.
The banner behind him and the text should be a very light gold but it never scans all that well. Especially when I have to scan posters in pieces since they're so big and then piece them back together on the computer.
Next game will be September 5 for my birthday! All I'm asking for there is a photo with Hunter Pence (and maybe Jeff's autograph on the poster). So wish me luck and at the very least I hope we have a good game.
