So last year I found an old photo of Von Hayes at spring training acting all Charlie Manuel like, with the hands down the pants and what not (see here). I was hoping that as the manager of the Camden Riversharks, Hayes would manage with hands in his pants as well.
I finally got the opportunity to check out a Riversharks game last night thanks to Tug Haines (of Casual Fan Project/Fightins fame) who was back home for a weekend off from his mega minor league baseball trip. He was asked to throw out a ceremonial first pitch, and Blue Crabs starting pitcher (and twitter guy) Michael Schlact was pitching, so seemed like a good time to see if Von Hayes had his hands down his pants.
I'm sad to report that he did not :(
Hands totally nowhere near his pants. Oh well.
Campbell's Field was a nice little stadium, though. I had a really good time watching a WFC play 3rd base.
And got to see Tug throw a strike to start off the game festivities:
It was also Riversharks' mascot Finley's birthday yesterday - so they brought out sooooo many other mascots to celebrate with him. Including Wally WaWa - a goose. I had no idea WaWa actually had a mascot costume....
And lastly - some photos of Michael Schlact doing his thing. being all tall and what not. He picket up the win for the Blue Crabs too.
For more photos of the night, check out my Flickr feed.
