\"\"<\/a>Click the camera to view first nine galleries of photos from the 2007 AAU International Tournament, held January 18-21, 2007. Maddy has prepped about 300 photos, so we’ve been posting a gallery every day over the last or so. If you don’t see the team you’re looking for, check back soon, as we have one more gallery to go.<\/p>\n

After clicking the camera icon above, click the menu button on left for Gallery 9, or to jump directly to Gallery 9, click here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This gallery includes some dramatic shots taken at the end of the championship game, including the “Dominican Duo”, Eduardo Perez launching a game tying home run in the 7th inning<\/a>, and teammate Frank Perez celebrating the game\/tournament winning home run<\/a> that earned him tournament MVP honors.<\/p>\n

Following those pics are some odds and ends, and the start of the award winners:<\/p>\n

Third Place Team Photos, for the two teams tying for Bronze:
\nHallman Twins, Kitchener, ON Canada<\/a> and the Texaco Pirates, of the Bahamas<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s Haziel McDonald accepting the third place hardware<\/a> from tournament director Alex Linares on behalf of his Texaco Pirates, while Doug Eidt does the honors<\/a> for the Hallman Twins.<\/p>\n

How about this scenic shot?<\/a><\/p>\n

Mac’s Billy Smith, with the kid that grew up down the street, Frank DeGroat, Jr.<\/a>. (You were taller then, Billy \ud83d\ude09 )<\/p>\n

And finally, three of the men behind the success of the AAU International tournament, (L to R), Alex Linares of the AAU, Ken Hackmeister, and Dick Mason of the ISC. <\/a><\/p>\n

Tomorrow’s final gallery will feature the rest of the award winners, and a few odds and ends, bringing our Maddy’s Photos of the 2007 AAU to more than 300.<\/p>\n
