I might not always be right, but I am never wrong! Once I thought I was wrong but I was mistaken!

Great series as usual! So glad baseball is back!

Some baseball photos I shot Wednesday night at the McNeese vs Louisiana Lafayette baseball games. Now, after almost a year, I remember why I don't like to shoot night games at Joe Miller Ballpark. The lighting sucks.

Some photos from Tuesday night's McNeese baseball game. Nothing great and when it got dark, it was very dark. McNeese's lighting is not the greatest.

McNeece72 - is this a synthetic diamond? Are they very common? I imagine there would be potential for some nasty slide burns from it. I've never seen one before.

Yes, it is artifical turf. And real easy to slide on. I don't know if it is the filler particles or what, but players have to adjust on when they start their slides to avoid oversliding a base.

I'm partial to great pitcher shots! Doc, Nice work as always! I'm off to Detroit for opening day to see if the kid gets his MLB debut in the series against the Tigers - it's sort of surreal... I started posting here when the kid was a sophomore in high school.
