Hmmm. Methinks this photo has taken particular inspiration from the Jan. 14 NFH Challenge.

Another great shot, NFH. He's nothing if not intense.

Oh...you almost had a picture of the Shea Hillenbrand Face, the mouth-slightly-open-in-a-near-perfect-circle face he makes during every single plate appearance.

Good job on the shot otherwise, NFH.

So what is the bet you have with Moffatt?

Here's what NFH proposed:
    Mr. Mike Moffatt, I formally issue this challenge to you: should Mr. Shea Hillenbrand of the Toronto Blue Jays have a SLG of .550 or over at the All-Star break, you will purchase and wear a Hillenbrand jersey and wear it to any remaining games you attend this season. Do you accept, Mr. Moffatt? Do you back your words with your pride and pocketbook?
I came back with the following:
    Done on the following condition: If you're wrong, you'll donate $20 to The London Food Bank. I'll even let you do it in your own name, so you can have the tax-writeoff. :)
NFH accepted, thus the bet.

These are my imperfect estimates:

In order for Shea Hillenbrand to have a .350 OBP at the AS Break, he would have to post a .321 OBP from here on out.

In order for Shea Hillenbrand to have a .550 SLG at the AS Break, he would have to post a .527 SLG from here on out.

Things are looking pretty good for the cameraman.

Things are looking pretty good for the cameraman.

I hear they charge by the letter for putting names on the back of jerseys! H-i-l-l-e-n-b-r-a-n-d; that's 11 letters. Are you going with white, black, or grey?
