Virgil Vasquez

I took some more portraits of pro-ball pitcher Virgil Vasquez yesterday. Virgil pitched multiple games in the major league last year and is back to spring training this weekend. Then he will travel with the Pirates and hopefully throw a bunch of balls in the big league again. Best luck!

I have known Virgil for a couple years now and I remember well when we were staying in a hotel room in Oberammergau in the German alps together, attending a surprise wedding (the bride had no idea all her friends from the U.S. had flown in and that she was getting married) and he blew all the circuits on that floor by plugging in his 110V Ipod speakers. I got the lecture from the owner since she didn’t speak English and I was the only German around. Good times!
