Sahlen Field

Hey great job on that bullpen picture at Sahlen Field! I have a request if you're up for it - the Sahlen Field article could use a photo of the Jimmy Griffin statue in front of the stadium (watermarked photo for reference - (https://i.imgur.com/BsTlKnc.jpg). Thanks! TheNewMinistry (talk) 19:08, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

@TheNewMinistry: No problem. I might even scoot down there tonight, but it might be a week or so if I don't. I took a few pictures that day that I took the bullpen pic, if you see any others that you'd like for the article, let me know and I can upload here. https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/Rzplz-RxTMaNbw9z93uBqg.A7hfl4mlil1p2eb8pIjOkd Tommycw1 (talk) 19:23, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Those are awesome, I'll keep that in mind. I was talking with someone the other day about how it would be cool to have a updated version of this photo, but I don't know how easy it is to get onto the roof of the Ellicott Square Building.TheNewMinistry (talk) 19:53, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

@TheNewMinistry: That is a great picture. I've never tried getting on the roof of the ESB, but now I want to try... Tommycw1 (talk) 20:07, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

@TheNewMinistry: BTW, you can almost make that pic with Google: https://imgur.com/a/N2Q7WWS Tommycw1 (talk) 20:29, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Reminds me of this helicopter shot from 1988 - https://i.imgur.com/xBaq3fV.jpg. TheNewMinistry (talk) 21:41, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

@TheNewMinistry: It was kind of hard to get a good pic of the Jimmy Griffin statue because there is some construction equipment in the background, so I took a few shots from a few different angles. LMK if you like any of these an I'll upload here. https://imgur.com/gallery/ZhYyOqF Tommycw1 (talk) 23:33, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

I'm hoping they make those foul poles bigger, lol. Great shots! I think this would look super if you could upload it - https://i.imgur.com/D0bmwot.jpeg. Thank you so much! TheNewMinistry (talk) 23:53, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

@TheNewMinistry: Pic now uploaded here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jimmy_Griffin_Statue_-_Sahlen_Field_-_Buffalo,_NY_-_May_2021.jpg Please use it as you see fit! Tommycw1 (talk) 15:29, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

@TheNewMinistry: This pic was just set up to be deleted. I don't think I follow why - I don't use this very often. If you want to use this pic, maybe you can have a look and comment why it shouldn't be deleted.

I started a page for the Griffin statue here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_First_Pitch. If you upload a small version of the pic to Wikipedia.org (not Commons) using the same licensing as this pic: {https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fearless_Girl#/media/File:Fearless_Girl_sculpture_by_Kristen_Visbal.jpg}, it should be fine. Won't make it to the Sahlen Field page, but I think it's cool nonetheless. TheNewMinistry (talk) 20:09, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
