Photos taken by Dave Turley, the Tournament Chairman, will be added to his "D" Tournament gallery daily during the tournament.  These photos are mostly unedited and all are included (we will try to include lots of photos of all teams/players).  On each image you can decide to save photos in various sizes, or download the full-size image (which are pretty big and allows for cropping).  Click here to go to the gallery.  There is no charge for these photos, which are sponsored by Woodland Park Post 1980 Baseball.
