There is a photo file online where this blog stores a collection of fastpitch Wolverine graphic art. Most of it has been posted at this blog, though others were NOT used because they are duplicates or contain a small error of one kind or another.

Then, there also are the graphics posted below.


These – the graphics below – have been waiting in line for an appropriate post. It never happened. So, they are shared now before the regular season ends in the next few days.
