“There are three things you can do in a baseball game. You can win, or you can lose, or it can rain.”
Casey Stengel (1891-1975)

The Egyptian Revolution is over, and thoughts return to spring training around Red Sox Nation, or did those thoughts ever leave? I would call these photos, misadventures with a Fuji 6x17. These photos have never before been seen, since I have never owned a scanner that could scan this format, until now, and because I was actually rained out. Opening day 2001, grand plans to make some interesting photos on my "day off", with a camera that I had never used before. My grand plans were foiled by April showers. I had planned to bring the 6x17 and a Holga, move around the stadium making panoramic and plastic camera photos. Of course I didn't have a roaming pass and couldn't use a tripod around the stadium. So as game time approached the rain showers began, no rain gear for the 6x17, the holga has a fixed exposure and the light dropped so much I couldn't hand hold the 6x17. So these are the few 6x17 that I managed to pull off. It is still a cool camera and I plan to revisit it now that I can scan the negs...
