    Baseball ...warning, intense action! :-)

    These little guys were driving their coaches crazy, concentrating on everything BUT the game. Taken today with the Oly C-8080.

    I remember

    And I can sympathize! I was a coach for my then 8 year old (14 now) son's soccer team for two years. they had an attention span of sloths--- especially my son...my son's highlight moment was getting the ball (after retucking his shirt, pulling up his socks, doing some cartwheels) and he hustled and shot right into the OTHER teams goal LOL

    ahhh the memories...these are really cute Charles

    HA! Yup - my sister coached my nephew's baseball team for a while. She had the same problems. I think the best though was the year before she started coaching. She was taking pictures at a game and my nephew stopped to pose while running from 2nd to 3rd.

    These are excellent Charles!

    Hey Charles,

    I tried to take a photo of a 6 year old that refused to take his finger out of his nose. When mom asked why I had no shots of her son to sell to her, I told her about her sons basball skills. She couldn't believe it.

    I'd have taken the pic with the kids finger up his nose. Catching kids candidly goofing off makes good pictures. My 3 yr old plays pee wee t-ball. It's a free for all...
