Picture Day

Picture day at school was the worst. So many questions. What to wear? How bright will the lights be? Is it going to be right after gym class so I'll be extra sweaty? And then the whole thing about me not being photogenic...

There seems to be only two common refrains when it comes to being photogenic. You hear one of the following:

1) She's so photogenic!

2) I'm not photogenic at all!

Does anyone ever say someone is somewhat photogenic? If they have, I haven't heard it. But in reality, most people fall into this middle range. 

Everyone takes a bad picture once in a while. Most of us don't end up having said picture plastered on a piece of cardboard that is mass distributed, however. These guys can't say the same. And so I present to you, a gallery of unintentionally awkward pictures of baseball players (non-game action edition).
