Raysing the Banners

 

Fairly self explanatory pics, but fanshots need 75 words.

Well done

That “Yep, I’m the shit look” is awesome.

Great shots

Our angle from the corner wasn’t the best for photos, may have to steal yours to add to the collection.

After the ceremony I asked my wife “I wonder how they’ll top that next year” (meaning the whole troops abseiling from the catwalk thing) and she shot back with “By adding a World Series pennant”…

you mean instead of assassinating them on the field like last night....?

might make for an earlier night, but with everyone leaving at the same time the traffic would suck

I don't get the need for the soldiers in full battle gear.

Just in uniform would be fine, all the guns screams white trash.

It was actually the Pinellas Park chapter of the Civil Air Patrol

Cuz that’s how dem boys roll

Vogt early, Vogt often.

I felt pretty confident that they had no intentions of using them on fans

I didn’t feel so confident tailgating out in front of Dolphin Stadium before the NC game this January.

Oh, Miami-Dade police.
