How to Block the Plate

Last one's the keeper for me, personally need faces and all that but hard to do when you're just on the wrong side - can't predict the future....

They finally changed the bowling rule? I got yelled at in college ball by my coach for NOT bowling over the catcher, it was an exhibition game and wasn't going to hurt a guy for practice. As I got up he thanked me...6'3" 240 coming at him think he had to change after the play. Coaching high school our pitcher bowled a kid over last year to end the game, luckily ump didn't toss him even though it was over or it's an auto 2 game suspension.

The last one is my favorite too. If I had been in the other dugout I would have got the catcher but lost the runners face which unfortunatly is the team I shoot for.

In the last four years I have only seen running the catcher called once. We were lucky, our catcher survived.

Fantistac shots

I used to block the plate, but that was 38 years ago. Has it been that long?
Great action photos, I like 'em!

Great job. Makes me wanna break out the cleats.

Great shots! Your editor should be pleased with these.. From a copy editors stand point, I would have liked to see the images in the horizontal orientation, but none the less, that is one of the better plate blocking sets I have seen in a long time!

I like the pictures as well, especially the 3rd picture. Where at in the stadium did you take this picture from?

Thanks. I was at the far end of the first base dugout, on the steps.

Sliding is for girls ... should have leveled the catcher IMO

Great shots man, you should be very pleased with the images

i agree with both statements

Great Shots!

Cant wait to see more baseball pics.

Its a shame that focus jumped on that 4th one. Shadows look a little blue too.
