6/21 - Great Baseball, Great Fun

After you look at these photos I took recently at tonight's Iowa Cubs against the El Paso Chihuahuas, you'll see why I love the game of baseball.

Kris Bryant, the Cubs' no. 2 prospect and top ten in the Major League, poses for a photo before the game.

Jeff Franceour, once an MLB star, now is a journeyman making a stop in El Paso. Every time I see him, he's always smiling.
