Inspired by my last baseball-related post featuring Francisco “K-Rod” Rodriguez, I’m reminded of the ever increasing tradition of the sky pointing gesture in baseball. You know, the one that Barry Bonds does when he crosses the plate.
“I’m the man? No, you’re the man!”
I’ve decided to put together a gallery of some of my favorite frequent sky pointers.
“K-God? It’s me, K-Rod.”
“A-Rod never acknowledges you.”
“I just tip my hat and call you my daddy.”
God responds: “C’mon Orlando, you just reached on a fielder’s choice. Is this really necessary?”
“$119 million big ones, please.
“Now, if you can get me that trade…”
Umpire:
“Yea, yea. Move it.”
Oh…that’s a different kind of pointing gesture.

On my daily jaunt to the Yahoo! Sports MLB page, I came across this interesting juxtaposition.
I love it. I’m inspired to make my own photo.
I can’t wait for baseball season, heterosexually sanctioned homoeroticism, and diva closers who fall down after every pitch and can’t seem to catch a return throw to the mound.
