Spring training: Fun with photos

February 13th, 2009, 7:30 am · 2 Comments · posted by Earl Bloom, staff writer

Looking for that first Angels on-field photo of spring, I came across several of the Red Sox at Fort Myers, Fla.

My first reaction to Boston minor-league right-handed pitcher Ryan Pressly’s parachute workout: The Red Sox are bailing out on the season already.

Feel free to add your own caption, bound by the limits of decency.

Pressly, 21, should not be confused with former Angels minor-league first baseman Ryan Pressley.
