Let me first apologize for the sproadic photo of the day posts. Work has been kicking my butt for about 4 weeks now and it is hard to get on the boards for even a few minutes to post anything. For those who enjoy these posts I will do my best to get back to a regular basis with these posts.
I saw this photo today and thought how simple a photo it is yet how great of a photo it is. We have Frank Robinson scoring during a game in 1966 against the Cardinals powerhouse team that would find incredible success in that decade. Standing in front of Robinson as he scores is everyone's most hated announcer who finally retired after last year, Tim McCarver. Love him or hate him he did have a long career in the majors with the Cardinals and Phillies and he has a few rings to prove he was a winner. As a announcer...well lets just say he reinvented himself as on air talent and managed to stay on that job for a good long time as well
Getting back to the photo, once again this photo stops the action into asnap shot in time. One can only imagine the ball being thrown back to the infield with McCarver anticipating the throw to the plate that never happened.
I hope you enjoy today's photo of the day.
