Updating the Blog Header

Not that I think anybody will overly notice, but I changed the header graphic yesterday. I previously had images of Matt Williams, Phil Brassington and Mitch Nilsson on the blog header.

Brassington is no longer playing. Nilsson is still on the Bandits roster but has only had two games in the last two seasons, and Matt Williams has moved on from the Blue Sox to the Bite. I figured it was time for an update.

So, the three players I've chosen to replace them?

Donald Lutz - former Cavalry player - chosen to represent the ABL players now playing in the Major Leagues.
Brad Thomas - current Blue Sox player - representing the local Aussie players in the league.
Komei Fujisawa - former Aces player - representing the imports who come down and play in the ABL.

Komei Fujisawa (藤澤亨明) - 2013-14 Melbourne Aces

Japanese import Komei Fujisawa is playing for the Melbourne Aces during the 2013-14 ABL season. Fujisawa hails from the Saitama Seibu Lions, but unlike many of the NPB players who are sent to the ABL, Fujisawa has yet to debut in an NPB game according to the NPB website.

I ended up with a lot of photos of Fujisawa, but this was probably my favourite. I do like to try and get shots of catchers with their catching gear on, but with their face visible. I was happy to grab this action shot of him during one of the games.
