    Legends and Hopper Class A

    Here are a few from a Lexington Legends class A minor league game I attended recently. No show stoppers but a lot of fun at the ball park just the same.

    Nice group of shots Larry. I've never shot at Applebee's Park but have heard that shooting from the stands is better than shooting from the photo moats the way they are designed.

    I think you are right Brian. I had plenty of places in the stands to shot from that gave me good angles. the only problem I had was being on the first base side and fighting the setting sun the first few innings.

    is that second one down, a Louisville player not using a Louisville Slugger ;) . I really like your first shot you have there the expression on his face knowing he is going to get the out.

    again nice job, it is always nice to go to the minor league parks because no matter where you sit you are always close to the action unlike going to a MLB park where if you are like me you pay the same price for the seat as you do when you go to the minors and well the players look like ants on the field.

    Thanks for the look and the comments Chris. I enjoy the minor league games they are so relaxed and every seat is a good one right on top of the action. Unless you have a fortune to spend at the bigs you are going to need binoculars. You can take the whole family to the minor league game and have a great time and still not blow the monthly budget.
