WOOSTER -- The most compelling baseball photos of all time have been published in a new expanded edition of Sports Illustrated's "The Baseball Book" (Expanded Edition), and included in its 325 pages is a gripping image by College of Wooster photographer Matt Dilyard -- the only college baseball photo in the entire book.
Dilyard, who has been at the College for 25 years, captured the aftermath of the Scot baseball team's bitter defeat in the 2009 national championship game. The photo shows senior pitcher Mark Miller walking off the mound after giving up the game-winning run following a brilliant 12-inning performance against St. Thomas. With players from the Tommies mobbing one another in the background, a stoic, but dignified Miller emerges in the foreground.

It might seem an unusual display piece for a nature, art and science-themed shop and exploratorium, but in fact 10,000-meter medalist Lynn Jennings' shoes fit right in. That's because shop co- owner and co-creator Craig Neff is a longtime writer and editor for Sports Illustrated, and has covered the Olympic Games since 1979.
