The Chicago Cubs were in town this past weekend to play the Giants at AT&T Park in San Francisco and as usual I hung out in the visiting dugout on the first base side to shoot some candid photographs of the Cubs as they prepared to take on the Giants. While most of the team was stretching in right field Cubs skipper Lou Piniella came out to the dugout top relax before the first pitch. While shooting a few frames of Lou we chatted a little bit about how great the weather was and what a beautiful day it would be for a ballgame.
When I got home after the game and edited through the 1,285 images I shot I noticed something familiar about the above frame of Piniella. It reminded me of a similar image I shot of him way back in 1990 when he was piloting the Cincinnati Reds and they were in town to play the Giants at Candlestick park. I went through my archive to compare the two images and I though it was a fun comparison.
