500 quatloos to anybody who knows where that '42' picture was taken. And another 500 to anybody who knows its significance. (It does fall into the baseball theme.)Vanya wrote:I see a lot of baseball parks, and 42.bpmod wrote:Hey Vanya!

It *looks* like a picture of an iPhone up against a fence...but it's more likely a really really large LCD with flagpoles behind it. Which still doesn't really help because it's...well...it's as nondescript as an iPhone up against a fence.bpmod wrote: 500 quatloos to anybody who knows where that '42' picture was taken.

Well, 42 is Jackie Robinson, and CitiField has a number of Robinson oriented exhibits, so I'll guess it has something to do with that.

Re: Fun with avatars
It is Jackie Robinson's number. That is the correct significance.
It is not an iPhone up against a fence. It is a crop from this picture here:
The day that Jim (trainman) and I went to the game, they were advertising Jackie Robinson Day, coming up the next day.
And, where did Jim and I see the game? You got it! Dodger Stadium.
So, 500 quatloos each to Volante and alietr.

In 2014, there will be nobody (in MLB) wearing #42 anymore.

There are only a very small number of jersey numbers or uniform numbers that you should be expected to remember. That's one of them.

My project is pretty much done if anybody else wants to try it out. Actually, even if nobody does, it is.
To randomize your avatar, or simply to create and store files for use as avatars, you can go to http://www.jboard.tv/avatar (you must be logged in). Once you have uploaded at least one image, you can click the button (marked 'click here' or somesuch) to activate it. If you have any questions or experience any wonkiness, let me know, either in this thread or by PM.

In my picture the date is almost perfectly clear. I read the 5 as a 6 and I knew we were there on the 15th. Jackie Robinson Day must have had quite the effect on me seeing as I didn't remember it.
