Last Wednesday, I traveled to Ypsilanti — not Yipsilanti — to watch a baseball game between Michigan and Eastern Michigan.  Through two rain delays, I watched Michigan nearly snatch defeat from the jaws of delight; after building a comfy-cozy 8-0 lead through the first five innings, the Wolverines managed to scrape out an 8-6 victory.  (Four of those six EMU runs came on a sixth-inning grand slam.)

Naturally, since it was a U-M event, I wore my Sgt. Wolverine helmet; since it was a rain-delayed college baseball game in Michigan, the crowd was fairly sparse, so it wasn’t hard to spot the helmet.  That is exactly what a photographer named Amir Gamzu did, just as he did several years ago at a Michigan football spring practice.  And, like last time, the picture ended up in a photo gallery on U-M’s official athletic site.  (It’s the seventh picture.)

And yes, I know I look all serious.  That’s primarily because I was very aware that he was taking my picture — I tend to notice photographers, particularly when they’re carrying equipment I can only dream of having right now — and perhaps a bit because the game was between innings, so there was no action to make me look excited.
