Mike Bordick for ESPN the Magazine

Former major leaguer Mike Bordick, photographed at The Arthur W. Perdue Stadium, where the Delmarva Shorebirds “A” minor league team plays, works as a roaming coach for the Orioles minor league system. His title is technically the offensive coordinator, but the former Orioles short stop, who set a MLB record for most errorless games at his position, also helps coach infielders. — a utility coach, of sorts.

This shoot was for the magazine’s “Go!” section, so all the photos needed to be vertical.

And of course, thanks to Jim Surber for the assignment! and Thanks to David Hobby for letting me borrow his ProFotos! What a super-good friend!

My Stunt Double assistant, the talented and gracious Nate Pesce! All the gear would’ve blown over had it not been for him.

oh. and that thing draping across the upper left corner? …it’s a piece of hair (eye lash? beard hair?) that’s stuck on the sensor. weird, huh?
