"The Pitch" and Other Sports Pics

[radiophoto]

Post your pro or am sports pics here.  Little league counts, too.  

This one's from a Corpus Christi Hooks (semi-pro, owned by Nolan Ryan) game recently.  The game was dull, dull, dull, but I was with friends in a skybox, so I was in relative comfort while being bored out of my gourd.

Thanks, Erie, those are terrific!  Excellent close-ups.

I've always liked this one, my son Keane at his first T-ball game in 2008.  Keane's in the Cardinals jersey:

Robert, that's gorgeous stuff.  Love the face of the frisbee thrower!  The pan shot of the bikers is really nice, too.

Thanks, Pete! That's the thing with sports photography, at least with my rig: you never know for sure how it's going to turn out until you can look at it at a reasonable size. Most of the ones above were pleasant surprises...
