Been the team photographer for one team eight years and another for six years and never been in the playoffs. This year however both are in after both winning tonight and the other team losing - however, the division is still up for grabs right down to the last day (Sat). Shot the team I'm actually official for tonight and will shoot the non-official on the last day.

#1 - 18 year old draft pick thrown into the mix of a pennat race where he was 0-2 going into this game. Pitched pretty darn good, 2 hits over six innings in a big win. He's very erratic but you can see the upside...definately needs work on his mechanics a bit but from what I saw his ceiling is very high.

#2 - Named after a HOF'er following through on a 3 run shot to match the BOMB he hit last night! Last nights shot came down with ice on it...

#3 - Covered both teams a ton so decided to try new things....this one headed to the stands to shoot. Got to deal with him a few times, his dad was one of my fav. players in MLB, good kid and hope he does well. Only made one bad pitch and got the tough luck loss...

#4 - Decided to head to the stadium roof to do some shots, of course as you can see by being above them it's not easy to get "under" the caps...he ate the throw so no follow through or nothing...

#5 - The only thing you could get really from the top was the pitchers because they kept there heads up...that 18 year old again...

#6 - Other pitcher again from up top to try a diff. angle....

#7 - I tried for this shot with other pitchers but couldn't get it...where his arm is on the follow through and where the ball is it's a bit strange to describe how the heck I got this?

#8 - Again from up top...makin a nice play to get the out at first....

Great shots Mike!
That rooftop is certainly a perspective we don't see everyday.

Thanks...odd that I been shooting there so long and never did it. No more day games though so will be hard to experiment. Already at ISO 1000 as the game starts nowadays so the 1.4 is out.
