Mazeroski in the Snow
Read a tip to revisit something you’ve already photographed, but return in another season or different time of day. After photographing Heinz Field the other day before the AFC game I swung by the Bill Mazeroski statue above the Allegheny River and shot him running into home plate, surrounded by snow. Some of you may remember my photographing the statue unveiling. No people in this shot. I had dinner with my friend Sue R. who is a serious fan and a member of the Lady Bucs Club. She has her tickets to go to Bradenton for Spring Training games. I told her about shooting the statue in the snow and she said she was looking forward to seeing him. Susan Wagner is the sculptor of this incredible statue.
A memorable moment frozen for all time!
I love how he’s framed by the building in the background! great shot!

Wow photo and Wow 50 years …. 1961…. Year of the Ox
Thinking about that because I found the Lunar New Year stamps at the PO yesterday – Year of the Rabbit starts next week! Wonder what year Mazeroski was born? He was a HERO (another kind of animal) that day!!!!
