Hi-Res Mets Images Needed

I know there are a lot of amateur, semi-professional, and professional photographers out there who have taken some great shots of the Mets over the past few years, and we're calling on you to help us out (if you know someone who has taken some great photos of the Mets that would work, too). Ideally, we're looking for action shots (batter's box stance, mid-swing, post-swing, sliding into base, diving/sliding/jumping catch, pitching) of any of the following players:

If you have a great Mets-themed (or Citi Field-themed) photo that isn't of one of these players we'd probably like to see that, too. The photos are for the double-secret Amazin' Avenue project I mentioned a few weeks ago. I promise I'll have more information on that soon.

Some requirements.

  1. Photo must be owned by you, and you must be willing (and able) to license it for use. Full photo credit will be provided, of course.
  2. Photo should be hi-res (at least 1024x768, preferably larger than that).
  3. Photo should be crystal clear (not blurry). I can't stress this enough.
  4. Interesting angles are fine; they don't all have to be straight-on or profile shots.
  5. Photo will preferably feature the Mets' home uniforms, but we will consider great road shots, too.

If you have one or more photos that meet the above criteria drop me a line at amazinavenue@gmail.com along with either links to the images in question (on Flickr, e.g.) or with the actual images attached. If one of your images is a fit for what we're looking for I'll get back to you with those details and we'll take it from there.

Well, if you own a Flickr account...

I know a few users who take really good baseball photos—plenty of them being of Mets, in case you want to give their stuff a look at. The account names are Michael G. Baron, Keith Allison, Aaron Doster, and mrzeising.

my girlfriend

used my camera to take several shots of david wrights back (really just his ass) while he was standing in the batters box. Interested?

I have several good shots from Spring Training (2007).

I’ll send you an email, and you can let me know if you want them.

you know what I'm sayin' ?

I may have a few

but i’ll have to check what resolution I took the photos at, I may have taken them at lower res to keep the storage requirements low.

AAA?

Amazin’ Avenue Annual?

the number one issue facing the Mets is finding that one guy who’s going to say "get on my shoulders and ride me to the championship."

you mean like this?

seems like all the baseball blogs are doing ‘secret projects’ these days

I would so buy that

The Mets lobby Omar for a plan, and his plan, he likes his plan. The problem is that he didn't write his plan down 'cause that makes it paperwork, and that’s false hustle... Know what I’m sayin’?

2013 ALL-STAR GAME(TM) LOGO CONTEST

Major League Baseball has formally announced that Citi Field will be the site of the 2013 All-Star Game. (see video) In light of this, I have decided to launch an All-Star Game logo contest. To help get you started, I provided all of you with a sample All-Star Game logo. (click here to embiggen) If you wish to participate, please enter your submission with an image below, in the comments section. The contest ends on May 31st. I will choose a select number of finalists, and the community will vote on which of those logos is the best one.

Can you create a better logo than the sample logo provided? Then, give it a shot. Good luck to all participants!
Jon Rauch is awesome. Dan Tanna is, obviously, a fan of Greg Pomes.
