Kyle Perkins - 2017-18 Canberra Cavalry

The older of the Perkins brothers returned for his sixth ABL season with the Cavalry during the 2017-18 ABL season.

I have to say that I was quite happy with the emotion I got in this shot.

Kyle Perkins - 2016-17 Canberra Cavalry

The older of the Canberran Perkins brothers Kyle returned to the Canberra Cavalry lineup for the 2016-17 ABL season. Perkins had been a part of the Cavalry's first 4 ABL seasons however gave up baseball after the 2013-14 ABL season after struggling with the game. A renewed interest saw him return back to the Cavalry and the ABL.

Kyle Perkins - 2013-14 Canberra Cavalry

The older of the Perkins brothers had mentioned that he'd like to have a card that features him batting as he doesn't have any of those. Unfortunately for him, Dingo's card of him was of him fielding. Looking at my design for him, I had one of him base running, so his wish of a card of him batting remains unfulfilled. Despite his recent transition from being a catcher to pitching several seasons ago, the 2013-14 ABL season saw him playing more in the field for the Canberra Cavalry, playing 23 games for the season despite only pitching in five. I'll need to go back through my photos of last season and see if I do have any of him batting and do a redux card of him at the plate.

And yes, I'm back from holidays, and still alive :)
