Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for May 06, 2013

Nice touch on the rally caps in P2.

Let it be known that a co-owner of the Kentucky Derby winner is Ogden Mills “Dinny” Phipps. Wonder if he’s got a friend named Ottewill?

ohhh . . . (cue twilight zone music).

Art is going for more drama. P3 is quite dramatic.

KER-R-RACK! HRR-RACK!

Warning track alert! tough loss.

If those are rally caps, shouldn’t the bills of the cap be pointing up? That’s part of that whole goofy look when you’ve put your hat on inside out.

And a great defensive play ends the game!

Crack!??? I thought the went Ping!

..meanwhile, Steve Boone, Kenny Lark and John Jawor commence ball washing at Milford CC….

When do you see four teenage boys in one place without a ball cap on backwards? Maybe Gil doesn’t allow it. Devore could be another Wade Boggs at the plate. Boggs never used an aluminum bat in high school, because it would mess up his swing for pro ball. His dad had him hook sliding at age 5, and made him a LH batter for that one step closer to first base. Like Bryce Harper, who got a GED so he could play in a wooden-bat juco league, he just knew he was going to play pro ball.

Will it take all week for this one play?

In Milford they’re saving aluminum for the war effort.

Maybe we’ll see a “Shug” in Gil Thorp this summer.
