Play Ball

First game of the season for our local recreation club. No uniforms yet, maybe before the second game. This is my son up at bat! Our team lost, but we played well. Tried to put my lens through the fence, but the umpire fussed at me. So this one is through the fence.

Here is a shot of that beautiful moon through the moss

Canon PowerShot A95
1/30s f/4.9 at 23.4mm full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Bah to the ump! They have no sense of humor, anyway! My son played years of little league, and Jr. and Sr. High Varsity bball - there's hardly anything better than sitting on the bleachers on a nice early evening watching kids play baseball, especially your own kids. Something basic, something just "right" with the world.

As a former little league umpire I know what you mean : )
You must be a proud Mom, baseball is a great sport!

Nice stance! the fence does give a sort of stadium feel

I think the fence adds something. It gives a better feeling of what it would be like to be there. Your son looks like he's going to whack that ball all the way to Minneapolis.

I like the way the fence frames your son at bat. He's got the stance down. Did he get a hit? Nice shot and I don't know why the umpire would care.

Did you get a pic of the umpire? Looks like your son is just about to hit the "homer"...great capture!

Umps are such sourpusses! I like your son's stance. Looks like a slugger to me!

Nice composition.

The ump didn't want that camera to get hit by the ball I guess,, which could have given you a black eye. Ohh and you gotta say it right,,,
