Jimy

Former Toronto, Boston, and Houston manager Jimy Williams, now an instructor in the Devil Rays farm system, contests a call by umpire De'Andre Anderson at Battle Creek's CO Brown Stadium. Jimy'd already been ejected from the game. July 3, 2006. I spent Monday evening wandering around the ballpark, taking pictures and chatting with other long-time Battle Creek season ticket holders. Although for the most part we know each other only casually, we have many shared memories. This animated discussion set us all to talking about Billy Gardner, Jr. , who's remembered in BC partly for his short fuse. Original photo here . 416 game photos here .
