Foul Tip

It was a long night for the San Diego Surf Dawgs, beaten like a drum
(11-6) by the Long Beach Armada. It was Ricky Henderson night, too.
The 46 year old future Hall of Famer was honored before the game,
and then picked off first base in the first inning. Oh, the humanity!

These two teams are part of the Golden Basebasll League, which is a
minor league of about A or AA quality. The teams are NOT, however,
farm teams of major league teams. They exist on their own. Each player
is paid between $1,000 and $3,000 per MONTH. (Yes, even Ricky Henderson)

You caught the ball in mid air. Great shot. So they play for the fun of it! How unique!

Great catch!!! by you of cousre, because the catcher seems is about to eat the ball, Lol, Great action shoot, and you did this one with F5.6 I was thinking you could use about 2.8 or something like that!

I sure hope the catcher's mask has that neck guard or this guy is in for some big hurt.
What an excellent moment caught (not the catcher, you!)
Don't care how old these guys get (46! lol!) or what leaque they play in, they brought a lot of people a whole lot of joy.

Every time we visit the States we try to get tickets to baseball or Am Football.... we've never managed it. Mind you I've never managed to get tickets to Arsenal either and they are just up the road.
