The Catch

Uploaded: April 19, 2004 10:26:36

Description

70-200mm F4L , polarizing filter. One of the coolest things when you're a kid, is to catch a foul ball as a fan at a baseball game. Number 3 caught the ball (it's partially hanging out of his glove in this photo)...and you can see all of his friends also wanted it. Actually, if I didn't have my camera in my hands, I would have given them a run for their money. :-)
