iso 200, 370mm (Canon 100-400L IS USM), f/7.1, 1/500m, no post processing...We went to a Seattle Mariners practice game today against their AAA farm team the Tacoma Rainiers. Cheney Stadium in Tacoma was packed, weather was pitiful. 9000 attendance. It's tough with a yard long lens trying to wind your way thru a bunch of kids with baseballs.....:-)

  Thank you all...:-)
And, for Corinne, sometimes I think I'm overly polite....I watch behind me and around me and even moved out of the way for some people taking "pictures" with their cell phones....

  Great shot Bob. I've been in those crowds - I don't know how you managed to shoot at the same time fighting off all of those kids!

  Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, all!
I put it in people...I'm thinking I should change to details/macro.
Yeah, the kids and adults....I knew the shot I wanted and where it would be, I had less than 5 seconds probably to get this one....:-)
Thanks again
Bob
