Excellent stop action Marty! You seem to do very well around a baseball park! :-) #734732

Thanks Joannie! The other shot was the "other end" of this play. For some reason I set-up to take a shot of Molina (the catcher) on this pitch, then when he snapped the throw to first to pick off the runner I adjusted to there and got the focus in time for the tag. It probably helped that I was far enough away that infinity focus was probably in effect for both distances! Our seats are not great for shots of the infield! Will be at another game this Saturday! :) #4772350
