Oh, Only in california would they let you play baseball in a hawaiian shirt.

I like your plans. Does he work nights and summers in the diner too? :lol:

Nice action pictures. He appears to be putting himself into it. I'm surprised that he isn't playing on artificial turf yet. That field looks a little rough for baseball. I'm not sure I'd want to get down on a grounder in that grass.

[Dante King]

LOL, no diner work yet. LOL Kinda want him to keep away form the restaurant biz. Thansk for the comments. Field is rough, but it teaches you to keep your eye on the ball. Makes them tough too.

Awww I love them!

He looks like a natural......Seems to me that most kids his age play with their eyes closed most of the time. ;-). Nice shots too........

Love the photos. Thanks for sharing.
Baseball, like life, is too important to take seriously. :-)

[ayotnoms]

Suit him up.
The Giants need the help NOW!!!

Fun series of photos you've captured, Dante. :-) :-)

[Dante King]

Fer, Bongo, Skip Ayotnoms..Thanks for the comments.
I wish he would some day play for the Giants or any pro team. He has been a fan of BB for his whole life. He could take care of his dear old dad that way to! LOL

[ed2day]

The facial expressions are priceless. Good job!

Nice photos. I like the action.

Velcro.....those were they days! :)

[Dante King]

Velcro? YOu mean in the glove? LOL, my boy had one of those when he was 1 year old. Talk about fun! Thanks for the comments.

As soon as the first image popped up on my screen, I couldn't help but to smile. Excellent pictures. I love the ball in mid-air as he throws from 2nd base.

I remember 13 years ago when my son was that age. I didn't have a digital camera then to take such great pics (yeah, I know - duh). Always wish I'd have brushed off the old Pentax more and captured more of our kids' lives.

The facial experssions on those pictures are just awesome! :D

You had some tough light situation there with that glaring sun, but maybe you can fix some of it, especially the grass sometimes looks like it's "blown"?

[ddelallata]

You should make some baseball cards with some of those pictures. Great captures by the way.

Yeah, I need to do some PP on them for posting. I have completed this for my files, but have been too busy to post. Its hell shooting 1pm sun. Harsh shadows and wicked highlights.

Thanks for looking.
