Baseball 08

The season just got started here in the northeast. Here's a shot from my kid's Babe Ruth league team.
I knew those composite bats were supposed to flex, but I didn't expect this...

WOW!! That's a great capture!!

Here are a few from both my kid's this week. They finally got to get on the fields after 2 weeks of rainouts.

I'm a nurse for a special needs child with Down's Syndrome. Our area has a league called Mauldin Miracle League. It's for any child up to the age of 19 that has a mental or physical need. We have spring sessions and fall sessions. So, this was the first spring game I could get to:
Rodney with helper from a local high school team. Dad is coaching.

Swing Slugger!

Let me go.......I'm going to steal second!

Running home hard (at least my buddy is )

Their version of sliding in

Just FYI-I hate what Photobucket does to my pics! How do you get clear pics our of photobucket, when they start out so clear and crisp???

Here's a few from our local AAA team this week.

I missed 2 games last week because I was sick. This week 1 game was rained out, so finally on Friday I was able to get to one of DS's t-ball games:

Hope you're feeling better Kyle!

What team is that, Mr. the King? Our local AAA is the Norfolk Tides. Used to be Mets' franchise (Yayyy!), now is Orioles (whatever).

Here's a few fun ones from the last few weeks...

Diving back to 2d on a pick off move...

One more week til our state championships! Wish us luck!

Last Monday, we went to see our local minor league (class A) baseball team, the Dayton Dragons. The weather was perfect and we had OK seats on the 3rd baseline, towards the outfield. If the left fielder had seen any action, I was poised for a perfect shot.

I like baseball, but I find my mind wanders during the games, so my shots are not necessarily of the action, but of my surroundings.

The ACTION I did capture:

The Stadium:

The Food:

Odds and Ends:

Thanks for looking!

 

[Mr._The_King]

PoohJen,
That is the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs. This is their first season and the stadium is small but nice. We had lawn seats in the outfield but it was a weeknight game and there was only a small crowd. I was able to walk around and get pretty close to the field.

Here is Pinch thier mascot....he is a crab apparently...?????

Here's the sunset from the same night. I've never tried sunset pics before but this is one of the few that I thought came out o.k.

This is my first try posting on the photo board, so I hope it works. I went to the Rockies Mets game memorial day weekend.

Suburbanmom- I love all your pictures. They are very creative, especially the food and glove. I am going to a Red Sox game tonight, and you have inspired me. Of course, now that I said that here, I won't get anything postable, but I'll have fun trying. I'm sure I'll get one of my son and some cotton candy.

So cute. Love the concentration. My son does the same thing with his tongue. I think they hit and throw much better the more their tongues are out.

 

[handicap18]

Suburbanmom, great pictures! Excellent job!

mikamah, that is pretty funny about the tongue thing. DS gets it from DW. When she's concentrating thats what she does so I guess he picked up on it.

Have fun at the game. Looking forward to see your pics. Hopefully they'll come away with #14 in a row at Fenway!! WOO HOOOO

 

[handicap18]

I talked to a few other parents and got the ok to post a few pics. So I thought I'd pass along some of the ones I really like:

 

[mikamah]

Nice pictures Kyle. T-ball is so cute.

I went to the red sox game friday night, and for me and my son, his first game, it was awesome, but not so much for the sox. I got a few decent pics, but didn't take as many as I would like. I put the camera away when my son was eating cotton candy, and fries with ketchup, etc.

My son loved playing catch with this guy on yawkey way before the game.

The world series ring replica we bought a raffle ticket to win a real one.

The best action shot I got was Varitek's bunt.

How the heck can we win this?

 

[Suburbanmom]

Ahhhh. #4 is a keeper!!! That is a great one and you'll treasure it, I'm sure. Well done.

Went down to Jersey to visit my sister and her husband. While there we went to a Can-Am League game. This is an independent minior league conference with no affliation with any major league teams. Some of the players may have played in MLB or a minor league affiliate or are college players who weren't drafted.

We saw the New Jersey Jackals play the Sussex Skyhawks. Cool stadium on the campus of Montclair State University. It's Yogi Bera Stadium:

Great pictures, Kyle. That one with the moon is amazing.

I know you are from MA, and I wondered if you have ever been to see the Portland Seadogs? We are going in a couple of weeks, and I heard it is a pretty fun stadium. They let the kids run the bases after some of the games.

Great shots Kyle! I got a nice moon one that night too, although I did have to use a little photoshop trickery to get it looking so nice.
