Last visit to the ballpark (this time)

I figure 3 blog posts should be enough to adequately cover a single baseball game, so this one will be short and cover a few batters.

I like the first picture because it leaves a little blur from the bat and the ball. At a shutter speed of 1/250th of a second, the bat and ball had to be moving pretty fast to still be blurred.

The next one, #76, Jesus Guzman highlights one of the non-roster invitees getting a shot at the team this spring training. You can read more about him and the other invitees in this article. I am always impressed by how major league hitters pick up their front foot and take a step as they are swinging. Since I have never played baseball, I am not sure if this is for a little extra power, but it seems like it would make it harder to hit the ball.

The last shot shows how different some batters stances are. It looks uncomfortable, but it seems to work for him, even with a loose shoelace.

Whether you are a baseball fan or not, I hope you appreciated some of these baseball posts. If you are a baseball fan, leave a comment with your favorite team. I think there is a White Sox fan out there.
