I see myself in his eyes?

Man, I know it's 4am but I'm still working on my photos from Monday at Chiba Marine Stadium. Discovered something pretty funny in one pre-game shot of Jose Ortiz...



See, I was standing by the dugout with MAB-san, the Lotte ouendan leader. MAB works for Oakley and supplies the Lotte players with sunglasses. They all think he's awesome. I think he's awesome too because it's so bizarre that he looks like this total... well... stoner slacker gangster type, and he basically spends his entire summer inspiring large groups of people to yell and jump and clap and be totally violent in cheering on the Marines, but in reality he's this totally super-sweet guy who is very kind and quiet, who works his ass off for his company and for the Marines, essentially.

So I super-cropped the photo of Ortiz...



And lookie, you can see us standing there, reflected in Jose's sunglasses. I'm the dorkburger with the camera. MAB has a white t-shirt and his hands on his hips. Bobby Valentine is talking to some people on the left. And so on.

Dunno why but this just struck me as totally bizarre.

Awesome. That's even better than posing *with* the player.
