Can we turn this into a photo contest, too? I mean, given that this photo was from 2006, in a home day game against the Blue Jays in Oakland, on some kind of ground out to shortstop... it can't be too hard to figure out when this happened.
It's a game that both Ken and I attended though in separate parts of the stadium. I was in the bleachers until the drunken nattering of the people behind me and the killing sun drove me to go hide in the left field corner.
This was the game where Barry Zito got his standing O since we all thought he'd be traded by the close of business Monday, was it not?
It looks like the SS and Overbay are playing monkey in the middle with the ump. The ump having just charged after the SS, who then threw the ball to Overbay. We see the ump quickly turning to chase the ball toward Overbay. It's as if someone hypnotized him to think he was a dog. Suddenly this is very Naked Gun.

Of course, I say this without having one to offer.
