MLB Heavyweight Champion

If MLB champs were decided like boxing: beat the champ, and you're the champ.

The 2008 season started with the Red Sox as champs. They were beaten by the A's, who were beaten back by Boston, who were then swept by Toronto, who lost to Oakland, who lost to Cleveland, and so on, until we reached our current champion.

The Heavyweight of the Year is the team that wins the most title bouts at the end of the season.

I think this may turn into a series of funny umpire pictures.

Funny ump position

From July 29, 2006.

Or, perhaps, a series of 'photo caption' contests.

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

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.

2 Other than by reading the date posted by Ken, of course.

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?

4 Yes, it was. It was also a game where Eric Chavez made a bunch of crazy diving stops.

I like the optical illusion that makes it look like the infield grass has a hump in it. (Hump? What hump?)

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.
