Orioles and Red Sox
So I've been a bit lazy of putting up recent images. Oh well. Anyways, last week, the White Sox hosted both the Baltimore Orioles and the Boston Red Sox. The Orioles are a struggling team, and with the exception of the series opener, the Sox had their way with them.
But the main event was the Boston Red Sox. Boston is a quality team, and gave the White Sox a real challenge, taking two of three. The White Sox avoided being swept by winning the Sunday finale 6-5 in 19 innings! I was not at that game (thankfully).... I can't even imagine what it'd be like shooting a game for six hours! Just out of curiosity, I asked some people who did shoot it (who all said it was a terrible experience, btw) how many frames one goes through in a 19 inning game. One guy said he took almost 2,000 shots. Another guy said he took about 1,500 images. On a typical game, I think I shoot on average between 400-500 shots. I guess I'm just a bit more selective... although their numbers may have been a bit inflated because it was an extra inning game... and in those games, you pretty much shoot every pitch because you never know which one will be the game winner.

Great shots as always Jerry! :)
Although I still maintain baseball would just about be the most boring sport in the world to shoot. Probably just above horseshoes or shuffleboard.... :)
So when in the fall are you and I gonna shoot some REAL sports! :) (another NW game!) :)
Jerry T. Lai has a blog and I found it! Sweet. What does it feel like to shoot a 6 hour game? Let me tell you. It SUCKS. When they started singing take me out to the ballgame during the 14th inning strech, I couldn't help but laugh.
