Photo Day is a glorious day! It is a day for your favorite Birdos to awkwardly stand around and take direction to do awkward things from a man or woman in a camera. I love it.

This year when analyzing the Photo Day photos, I noticed a few distinct poses the photographer was going to for. I have laid them out for you below:

“Think of a word that rhymes with ‘orange’”

“They are just jealous of my mustache”

“The Cardinals signed Bud Norris, then said he might start”

“What the heck am I supposed to do with this baseball?”

“Hey, aren’t you Willie McGee?”
