    Making the catch

    This was from one of three games yesterday. I like how the base runner is watching the center fielder make the play, one that ended the inning....nothing like doing it in style

    That's why your getting paid for it. You bring home the bacon! Great catch on a great catch.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    I wish OT, believe it or not the paper did not use this one! They used one at the plate with a kid getting congratulated for a home run and a standard pitchers photo! I was actually upset they didn't use it.

    Re: Making the catch

    I love the runner, not only that, but you can see the disappointment from his shoulders and body language. It almost like I can see the look on the runner's face ... if that makes any sense.

    Re: Making the catch

    Well if there were already 2 outs, that runner should have been running, no matter what....not standing there looking.....LOL...

    Great catch....I can understand why you would be upset, they didn't use it....something with a story tieing to the end of the game.....instead of the usual, shots....

    Great job JS.....

    Re: Making the catch

    The base runner couldn't do much, this was their best chance to score in the game, and he probably forgot there were two outs. He did get to a spectacular catch though, and he had the best view of everyone . I'm used to the paper not running the better stuff, but it is aggravating.
