the guy in the white cap (on backwards) ---- I want his job!!!

this is part of the celebration upon scoring a run - especially a "home run (over the outfield walls but inbounds from 330'-400' min - the homer that Ludwick hit before this went about 435')"


I tried to take photos of the hit - the ball flying out of the park and the opposing players running in a futile attempt toward the wall ------- But, the ball came right at us, was hit fairly low and straight (no time to follow it with the camera from that angle).
When I realized that I wasn't going to get the home run photo I swung around to shoot Ludwick rounding the bases - and forgot to adjust for vibration - all 6 or 7 shots were blurred - bummer.

it's a real challenge when you are a huge fan of the game and your team to balance watching the game while looking thru the viewfinder.....:-))

The Cardinals really need your support - they are behind the Milwaukee Brewers and now trying to fight off the Philadelphia Phillies in a race to make the play-offs - with less than a month left in the season - go Cards!!!

Look at that monster sitting on that shooter's left shoulder...

Good "in the moment" shot.

Thanks Brian.

no kidding - I could buy a new car for what that lens probably cost.... but would rather have the lens
