Easter Egg: Hollerin' Manager

Easter Egg: "Pop-Pop"

Since I'm the guy behind the camera, I have very few pictures of myself. I took this selfie just for the set. I’m decked out in my Buffalo Sabres gear. A Ryan Miller home jersey topped-off with a pommed toque. Unseen are my matching yellow gym shorts.

After missing out on the first series, I knew I had to get in on the fun. Deadline approaching again and a quick break in the action as I sat in my truck prior to work, enough to get a mugshot, even if I am not wearing one of jerseys.

Photo was taken on June 16, 2019 (Father's Day), moments before CD13 began his second round of a tournament at Hickory Hill Golf Course in Warwick, NY. (CD13 placed third in his division in that tournament!)

Photo was taken on January 14, 2012.

I took this picture sometime in the early part of April 2019. I had just found my first goalie mask whilst cleaning out some boxes from the house in Somerset. I had totally forgotten about this mask but I was over the moon when I found it. I put it on and took this selfie. The mask was painted in 1974 in the colors of the California Golden Seals. I used that Testors model paint on the mask. When trying to decide what kinda pic to include in this year's set, it was an easy choice.

This photo was taken in the spring of 2016, before a game at Ashford University my junior year of college. We played at Ashford University Stadium (since renamed) in Clinton, Iowa, also home of the Clinton Lumberkings. Three weeks later, Ashford closed for good and I transferred to Hannibal-LaGrange University to finish baseball and school. My dad snapped this photo as I was heading to the bullpen with our starting pitcher that day; we had just reviewed the scouting report and spray charts, and the outlook was pretty bleak, as evidenced by my facial expression. It’s likely that we lost, because once the school announced it’s closing the previous July, many players transferred and only one new recruit arrived. We played 2016 with 18 men on the roster, winning just 8 games.
