Friends

According to http://www.friendshipstats.com I have 166 friends, 46 more than average. 75% are male, 25% are female. 44 are single, 32 are dating or married.

If I contracted a deadly variant of flu, I would likely infect 10 people, 1 of whom would die. When I share something on Facebook, it is typically viewed by 17 people. If I died today, an estimated 383 people would try to attend my funeral.

Based on my Facebook profile, I have a 90% probability of getting married. I am likely to earn US$3.6 million and have 2.2 children over my lifetime.

Little League Baseball

The 2009 Little League Ontario Baseball Championship is currently underway. In Ontario, Little League baseball (little league means that all players are younger than 10 years of age) is divided into ten districts. The teams in each district play each other in a regular season and then a playoff to determine the champion. Finally, all ten district winners compete in the Championship to crown the ultimate winner.

The tournament is being held in Oakville, Ontario this year. It was a great atmosphere; kids having fun, parents enjoying the nice day out and players' siblings just having a great time. The weather was surprisingly cooperative:

See, no rain and nice and warm!

So here are some of the pictures (everything shot with Tamron 70-300 lens at ISO 200 and in aperture priority mode at f/7.1).

The home plate!

The pitcher

Pitcher for the other team

Outfielder

When the baseball gets hit out of the field, the kids' siblings start playing catch with it!

The outfielder for Napean.

I left after five innings, but apparently Napean won 9-2.

Note: As far as I know, there is nothing illegal about posting these pictures online; the players and spectators were all on public property.
