Default Ken Griffey Jr nearly hit by wild pitch!

My very first photos with my camera were at at Seattle and Minnesota game - just for fun. A very similar photo of Ken Griffey Jr dodging a ball (except it was from a different angle) made the front page of the newspaper. Dang!

Pretty cool shots!

I have never tried taking my camera to a baseball game, but then it probably wouldn't do any good since we usually sit in the nosebleed section and I definitely don't have the proper lens for photographing from that high up! Haha!

These are great sports action shots. What equipment are you using?
