Jose Bautista signed a $65 million contract today but the biggest news of the day for him was his elevation to the Batter's Box Banner. Ricky Romero joins him in a tribute to the club leaders of the hitters and the pitchers.
We hope you enjoy it.
We know it took us a long time to change but the process is not as easy as it looks. First the pictures are ours, or in this case, #2JBrumfield's. Our previous pictures had been taken by the photographer previously known as Named For Hank. So our first challenge was to get suitable pictures of sufficient quality, and in the right perspective, to be included in the banner. #2JB upgraded his camera equipment last season and we have been treated to his great pictures here over the past year.
Then the pictures had to be formatted into a particular format that #2JB had to learn while we had lives to live, and baseball issues to focus on, but we made sure we were ready for opening day.
Thanks to those of you who sent in your own versions but we did have a plan, that took a while to come together, and as I said above, the formatting was a challenge.
So a big well done is due to #2JBrumfield and now we know how to do it so we can update the banner if any players deserve to ascend to our lofty heights.
