    I wish I had a nickel for every shot I have had like that. I could retire and move to Hawaii.

    Most sports are vertical in nature and I shot 90% in vertical when I'm on the sidelines.

    You mean the focus? It's on the green area with the black line, not on the boys. Woudln't have made it into Sports Illustrated anyway..
