Wow, I’m dying to know the backstory to this gem.

Is this definitely real?

I’ve never seen the pic before, but it comes via SI, so it’s almost certainly legit.
As for the backstory, all I know is that it was taken circa 2004 (the year Ovi was drafted), so it must’ve been either leading up to or during the Athens games.

In Russia, shot calls you.

So which one you guys throw ball?

I’d take Ovie on the Nats any day. He could replace Dukes in RF.. He’s a nutural hitter fo sho!

“Outside and warm, no ice, short little wooden stick, and hey … that puck is round and white. Gee, I’m definitely not in Russia anymore.”

The 2004 Entry Draft took place in Carolina. They took the top rated prospects on a publicity tour around Raleigh. I think one of the places they went was to a minor league baseball game (I think Durham Bulls). This may be from that.

Finally, a sport in which people are actually telling the truth when they say Ovie is not the best in the world… yet.

So if I put ball there… we get FOUR points?! Sick!
