757 at BUR?

Hi everyone, i frequently fly the reinstated BUR-ATL-BUR flight(s), but both the morning and red eye flights are serviced by a 737-700. While waiting for boarding, I saw a DL 757 (or so I think) parked near a hangar (see photo). Am I seeing things?

Is it one of the charter 757s?

The SF Giants used DL for their charter ops last year. Not sure about this year but if DL is their charter carrier again, the SF Giants are down in LA to play the Dodgers and my guess is Burbank is the closest and most convenient airport to Dodger Stadium.

ETA: Found the MLB charters thread on Airliners.net and it looks like the Giants are using DL so this is most likely the SF Giants charter.

Charter ops, possibly sports team.

That pretty much confirms it - SF Giants were in St Louis to play the Cardinals prior to traveling to LA to play the Dodgers.
