you know what... I think he made it!

I have recently become addicted to taking photos of players sliding into bases. Here we have a classic belly-slide

quite common for backtracking after failed base-stealing attempts

No baseball shoot is complete without a fisheye shot

We move on now to a slightly bigger stadium - Yankee stadium. And who have we to watch at Yankee stadium tonight? The New York Yankees of course.

alright, I know I'm hopeless with the ladies... you don't have to rub it in

Nice wrist action... loose that ridiculous glove and this guy might make a good bowler in cricket

oohh... the ball's a bit close to his body, it's cramping his style.

That ball is rather close to his... balls...

Mouse over the image...

looks like this one is caught out

"clink"

whoah! money shot! (you'll notice that almost all of my shots are taken from the same location. seeing as I don't have a press pass for the NY Yankees, I don't have the free roaming ability that I normally have at Columbia games)

These pitchers throw the ball pretty fast. There's a much better representation of the full pitching action on the front page of this website.

Will he make it?

will he make it!!???

ooohhhh.... he JUST made it!!! (to get the proper effect, download all three in the sequence and watch them in a slideshow one after the other)

This is the seventh inning stretch... and the people who groom the field do a little YMCA dance...

nice catch... right at the end of the pitch. There is no boundary rope, as there is in cricket, the boundary is set by whether or not a fielder can make a catch

sometimes the pitcher attempts what we in the cricket world would call a "bouncer", aimed deliberately at the batsman to throw their rhythm

...and when you're twisted out of shape like this, your rhythm just falls out of your pocket

"clink"
