Uncle Alan stopped by to visit for a bit<\/span> with his wife<\/a> and\nfour-month-old Titi<\/a>. He didn't have long because he had an 8-hour\ndrive home waiting, but he had time for a bit<\/span> of baseball with Anthony.<\/p>\n\n

I took a bunch of shots as they played... here are some I like,<\/span> arranged\nas if they were all from the same pitch.
