So we all know that occasionally, you see or nail that perfect shape moment in sport when the body and the ball (insert as applicable) form a great 'sporting' shape.

You know - that moment where it's all sweet to your eye, the reason we take pictures...corner to corner, the tongue is out and that ball is going to fly.

Here is one I came back to in my stock stuff. Taken in an FA Cup game some time ago.

You got any?

I have a few but never enough :( . This guy can deliver 100 MPH fastballs and he's pitching to a batter who is 60' 6" in front of him.

Jerry ~ Baseball is a game where only defensive players handle the ball and offensive players who hit successfully in only one third of their at bats are among the best in the sport.

This shot is from my early days, so the quality isn't great, but it one of those shots you get makes you remember why you go out there......

I just really like the "shape" the ball carrier was mashed into.....

No tounge but you know that ball is about to fly......

Interesting concept for a thread! So here's a quick one for starters... I'll check the archives to see if I can find any more at a later date ;)
