Thanks to Daniel for sending this magnificent capture from AU Park yesterday. It’s been a minute since we’ve had a caption contest and I can think of no better photo to resume than this one. And I’ve got some new shirts to the winner and runner up get one! Your captions in the comments and I’m thinking you can pick up at our next happy hour in late June if the world stays on the rails!! Stay tuned for more on that front.

Thanks to Vera Marie for sharing:
