    Matt Purke.jpg

    Is there any uglier "mug shot" from this year than Matt Purke's (Nationals). Seriously "cringe worthy."

    Over the last several years, I've attended a good number of Giants games and I SWEAR that they have someone on staff who photoshops slightly the photos of opposing players for the big screen If a guy has a big nose, it looks just a little bigger. If his eyes are set close, they look closer. If his ears stick out a bit, they stick out a little more. I noticed this some years ago when I took a date to the game who knew little about baseball, but she noted how goofy looking the visiting Pirates were. I never really thought of them being particularly ugly (other than on the field). I have been watching carefully since then, and pointed it out to others who agree that something looks fudged. Last game, a pal on his smartphone looked up the many of the original photos and they did look just a tiny bit different, a tiny bit more silly. It surprises me that someone would spend the time to do this, but it's pretty damn funny. I wonder if it happens at other parks. Or maybe my homerism is clouding my vision.

    I can't explain Matt Purke.
