Shea Hillenbrand seems to have this reputation as a guy who never smiles. He looks like he takes baseball pretty seriously. But on Saturday, May 22nd against the Nationals, he seemed to be having a pretty great time:

It was Junior Jays Saturday, and at the start of the game a team of selected kids get to start on the field with the Jays. This is Shea and his Junior Jay third basewoman. He looked like he was having a lot of fun talking to her.

That's not a smile, that's an upside-down frown.

I really like how this picture shows the precision and sharpness of a Major League Ballpark. The dirt is fresh and level, the line is perfectly straight, and Hillenbrand's shoes are crystal clean.

That's a fantastic shot, NFH. Hilly isn't even my favorite Jay by a long shot, but that picture just became my new desktop background.

Thanks, Parker.

That's why I make them conveniently desktop-sized. ;)

Too bad you can't ID the little girl. I bet her parents would get just a huge kick out it.
