Love your wide-angle comp Bill! Such a great sweep to get the viewer into the cityscape!! While watching our Little League team from Pearland (just south of Houston)play last night I wondered if you were there watching or umping? :0) #8856663

William C. Raco level-classic August 23, 2010

Thanks all.
Murry, I'm watching this year
I have umpired on those fields, but not in a World Series.
Maybe one day!
Good luck to the Texas team. #8857441
