OK.
This time, you’re going to have to work harder to find me. (In a previous post, it was ‘quite clear’ where ‘Waldo’ was.)
A MillersTime Baseball Contest Winner T-Shirt to the first person who finds me in the crowd at last nights Sox 5-2 win over the Os at Camden Yards.
Ortiz hit a three run homer (after missing one by a few inches in his previous at bat), and the Sox fans, including yours truly, raised their arms and cheered once again.
Update: 9/22/16:
Not surprisingly, I suppose, my daughter Elizabeth spotted me within four minutes of the posting, accurately saying, “Middle left. White shirt, beard, grey hat. Too easy…Your bracelet gives it away.”
She was followed shortly by her husband Brandt who, first got it wrong, as did many of you when he said, “Right fist in air wearing blue and red striped shirt.” But he quickly recovered and wrote, “White t-shirt with the right side of your body cut off.”, adding snarkly, “That’s an unfair question. Waldo was never cut off by the end of the page.” He then demanded I send the T-shirt prize as a onsie for his six month old daughter Samantha (She’s actually a few days from being seven months old.)
And then I heard accurately from my other son-in-law, Edan, who somehow circled the picture and drew arrows to it (how’d he do that?).
Of course, it would not be fair for any of those three to win, being so called family.
The next accurate sighting was from Steve Feldman of Beltmont, MA who wrote, “Upper left of the photo – the right half of your body is cut off.”
So a prized MillersTime Baseball Winner T-Shirt will be on its way to Steve shortly.
Thanx to all who participated.

Richard would never wear anything but a red or red and white shirt to a game. Bad guess! But I’m still looking myself!

I wasn’t going to write anything to prevent controversy but, being the conscientious Yankee fan that I am, I decided that perhaps now is a good time to remind the Red Sox diaspora and followers of our nations pastime, a ‘home truth’ or two concerning your beloved Big Papi.
As Mr. Ortiz finally enters the twilight of his controversial career and audiences around the country pay homage to his 24 years in the big leagues, the following post from CBS does present a valid argument which (I believe) still remains unanswered?
http://sports.cbslocal.com/2016/05/27/david-ortiz-ped-steroid-red-sox/
By contrast – and as everyone will remember – Alex Rodriquez, who was annihilated by MLB, supporters of the game and in some respects, his own management for alleged misdemeanors relating to PED’s. Time was served – the rest is history.
Amusingly at the time of Alex’s downfall, MLB’s self-imposed regulators of the game (i.e. Boston Red Sox fueled by their biggest ally – the infuriatingly biased and unwatchable ESPN) acted as Judge, Jury and executioner to what he had supposedly done. Who can forget that lowlife Ryan Dempster being instructed to pitch ‘behind’ Arod in 2013 with only Joe Giradi getting ejected for protesting? I recall the deranged Kurt Shilling broadcasting something along the lines of ‘Arod deserves what’s coming to him’!
So why is nothing EVER said by Sox fans about Big Papi being guilty of ‘juicing’? He owned up to it for goodness sake! Are sports fans – especially those in Boston – that fickle to believe what the want to believe regardless of fact? I just don’t get it? Aren’t these double-standards or am I losing my sanity?
As ever, it would be interesting to hear what those along ‘Yawkee Way’ or from the depths of despair in Southie have to say in response to my question. A reply of ‘Oh C’mon man – its Big Papa!’ will not suffice.
Sadly in this life, whoever you are, you can’t have it both ways.

Damn it! I’d just finishing upgrading my facial recognition software yesterday and then the NSA reminded me that they had exclusive rights. This is going to take a lot of time doing it the old way….

I have to admit, I thought Barbara had it. But I see that person is too skinny and is not wearing a RED SOX shirt. And he only has one arm up, not “arms” as Rick says. So I say it is the guy in the middle toward the back, white RED SOX shirt, behind the woman in dark clothes, with his hands going up out of the frame.
(Second choice – upper right in white SOX shirt next to guy in sort of orange shirt, but he only looks like he is clapping his hands.)

Nope.

About 3 rows, North, by Northeast from the guy in the red & blue striped shirt I can see the top of your head with a blue cap and your left arm is up. Just below, and to the left of the red pole.
Richard said:
Nope

Richard said:
Nope.
Don’t cancel that eye appointment.
Chris Boutourline said:
My second, and final, answer. You’re just below the very top left of the picture. Only some white of your shirt, half your face, 1/2 a blue cap and your left arm are showing.

Well I didn’t find RM. But I did find Waldo. He is directly behind the guy who looks as if he doesn’t have a shirt on. In the next frame, this guy sits down and there is Waldo, big as bubble-up. With his noted power to cloud men’s (and women’s) minds, RM is doing his Lamont Cranston imitation and is effectively invisible. Don’t pay any attention to his answer, when he gives it. It isn’t him because he is in the empty seat next to that guy.
