Best Pictures of 2012- FanFest, April, and May
Wow. What a crazy season. My dad took a majority of the pictures featured on this blog, and all of them were excellent. I wanted to take some time to comprise a few entires with of all of the best photos that were taken at the 21 games I went to in 2012. At the end of each month and game, I will have a poll for you to choose your favorite picture of that month.
This entry features the 6 games I attended in April and May, as well as FanFest in January
