I shot an American Legion all-star game on July 4th. It was a great way to spend the morning; baseball, a couple of hot dogs and the patriotic music provided by a large orchestra wafting over from the town Independence Day celebration surrounding the baseball diamond. Here are a few favorites.....Thanks for looking, comments welcome.

1. Shortstop making the throw to first on a short infield hit.

2. Turning the double play.

3. If it's not BOB, it is as close as it gets.

Those are fantastic captures. I've been wanting to try my hand at shooting some AL ball myself but we keep getting rained out.
