....and had great seats. 5 rows up behind home plate. As much as I was watching the game, I found myself admiring all the white lenses. Quite impressive.

Do the baseballs float?

Or do you have to paddle real fast?

Baseballs will float for about five minutes before losing buoyancy.

No strobes, but probably a remote camera positioned perhaps on the screen behind home plate, etc.

Those guys waiting for Barry's HR's are REALLY quick though... when he gets close to the record, they will be more dangerous than piranhas!

I sat 2nd row behind the endzone at least week's Hawkeyes game at Kinnick. White lenses everywhere. Several 70-200 2.8 IS models, and a couple 300's.
