The ballpark is a great place with the fans, the vendors and the players all come together to make it an experience. It is interesting that when I have my camera with me (nearly always these days) I notice many things that used to slip by me before. Things like other photographers with incredibly big lenses causing me to further irritate my already bad case of lens envy.
In High School, I was on a swim team and was fairly competitive by my junior year. In a citywide meet, I finished in 4th place just 2 hundredths of a second out of 3rd and not much more than that behind 1st and 2nd. I am not bragging, but just setting the stage for my next comment. I know the effort it takes to be competitive and so I appreciate seeing that effort played out at this level. The effort it takes for a pitcher to throw a baseball at this level is clearly visible in shots like these.
This day at the ballpark was (as I mentioned before) a fun time. I would be happy to go back again to this park, or any other sports facility. Does anyone have any suggestions for particulary photogenic ballparks? Anything in Arizona is more likely for me to visit, but please leave a comment here or a shout out on Twitter and let me know what you think the best looking sports facility is. Is it the University of Phoenix stadium where the Arizona Cardinals play with its rollout field? Or is it the Twin Cities Metrodome in Minnesota with its rich history of baseball and football?
