Well my team could not get a win Friday night. But none the less it is always a fun trip to Boston when the Evil Empire is in town. Nothing to special about the shots but just thought I would share. Comments welcomed . All shot with the K10 most of them with the Sigma 70-200 2.8 All resoized and some minor adjustments and sharpening

Pre Game ceremonies honor the 67 Impossible Dream Team. I love the K10. Shot this from way back but a little cropping and I still have a decent shot.


Not a great shot as the highlights are shot but still I like the shot. He was safe this time.

I moved around behind home plate and got a few shots. Damon eyes a pitch from Snyder ( I think) the ball is there, blending with the runner on second.

With some work I could remove the head but still decent shot from the stands.

Nice shots, although my son would disagree on the "evil empire" statement. The question I have is where did you get the Sigma 70-200 F/2.8??? I ordered one from Adorama early May and they told me it won't be delivered unitl sometime in July. When I e-mailed Sigma they said it wouldn't be out until mid-summer?

I got mine about a year and a half ago.

I like the 4th shot the best as the ball was captured in the shot before the hit.

The crowd looks quite interesting too.

Thanks for sharing

[vievetrick]

Thanks guys.

Great shots Pat, too bad it was a disappointing game. My favorite part was when all the blond masks came out. One of these days I get up there and see them play.

If you get the chance let me know. I may be in NY in late August to see the Sox Vs. Yanks at the stadium. Your mental stability seems okay to me.

Hi Pat,

Great shot, thanks for sharing!

I don't get the A-Rod/masks joke. I know he's been in the news for a few things lately, but I don't get the connection???

Oh, that is too funny. I didn't realize he got caught doing that. The resemblance isn't that good, though.

Love action shots and you did well - man the angle of the ball comming from the mound looks like a high heater ! Safe at third and nice carpture of the hit (was it a hit ? He looks like he was a little ahead of that pitch again maybe it is the angle)

[spillway]

Shame on you A-Rod!

Christie Brinkley is still looking pretty good, though!

I think it was then angle, but it could have been a little high. The hit I can't remeber if it was fair or foul. thanks for looking and commenting.

For sure not bad for a 53. I am pretty sure she is 53.
