                 The reason you hate this picture is because they aren't using the yellow bat.          

                               WAY more than the fact that it's the Jonas Brothers.

03/12/2013 17:18  - The last picture should say, "Your wife thinks you are obsessed about a kid's game that you should have given up when you were old enough to get your driver's license." Cyndy driggs 
03/12/2013 22:25 - The Legends haven't had matching uniforms since the day that picture was taken...
03/13/2013 09:20 - Ah yes, the Peanut Gallery has awakened.   "There are many in this world who would have us give up all play once we are 'grown up'.   I prefer to keep the wonder of a child about all I do, for I feel that is what God intended upon our placement on this terrestrial ball - and the kernel it is to all great scientific discovery."  Albert Einstein.    Check your spelling and grammar Ms. Reading Teacher.  As for the unis, they disintegrated shortly thereafter.   I wanted to use the original Redlgegs unis, but couldn't find a good team picture.
