My camera sees things my eyes can't see
Last year, Dan Hoard of the PawSox "radio guys" told the story of how Manny Ramirez had given Chris Carter a couple of his bats. It was even noted in the radio broadcast when the sad day finally came that the last of the Manny bats broke. And I know that those bats were very meaningful to Chris; when I handed him a photo I'd taken at New Stars for Young Stars this past January, a shot of him at the plate, bat extended, he looked at the picture and said, wistfully, "That was one of Manny's bats."

So today Cyn and I went to Pawtucket--where they won 1-0, and the rain held off!--and I'm now home editing some photos. And I look at one of Carter, and his bat...

I find that oddly sweet that he uses his teammates bats, particularly left fielders.

What makes this even better is how you were saying yesterday that you thought Carter must just walk around his house holding a bat.

He loves his bats.

(I want to know how he got Jay Bay's! Did he ask him for it or just swipe it? We need to get Dan on this!!!)

What a beautiful photo!
