Very nice shot! I'm jealous of your lens to, haha.

If I have to be picky, I'd say that I'd also like to see Crawford in focus.

Very nice though.
Thanx. The 300 is a pretty good lens, though maybe not the best for indoor sports photography.

It is a very nice shot, i recently tried on a bowling tournament and it is not easy to catch player in motion get them freezed and have a good composition all at once, you probably had to do many shots to get a few working.
Bingo! I took about 300 shots and came away with only 20 or 30 keepers. This was the first time I had tried to photograph a baseball game. It was a good learning experience.

Good moment.

Personally, i would have taken the 80-200 and cropped the portion i wanted - the extra speed would help a ton in situations like that.

All things considered, good stuff.
My thoughts exactly. The 80-200 would have been the better lens for the job. My wife got the game tickets from a local radio station, so we were out in the cheap seats. I took the 300 for the extra range. Better seats and the 80-200 would have yielded much better shots.
