Nice timing here. Well done #924138Sharon Sawyer May 20, 2008
I'm glad you captured this image, John. Being an ole softball veteran "connecting with the ball" has entered my head many times as I've pondered this month's theme. Jose nailed this one and so did you !!!! #5949092John G. Clifford Jr June 02, 2008
Thanks, Charalambos, but it was really a matter of luck.Sharon, when I saw the monthly theme this came to my mind, also. They don't call it 'connecting' for nothing!

A truly rare shot this season (a mariner winning hit). Thankfully, there's always "next year". :-) #6831641Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
