I also recommend 70 - 200 F2.8. I bought my used lens on eBay.
I shot these pics last night. The first 2 long after sundown and well
back from the screen. The next 2 from just past the 3rd-base dugout.

Thanks, Jules. In the depths of my senior memory I seem to recall that
'white space' was desired around the outside when recreating menus on
a computer screen. I wonder if this is ever given consideration when
inserting a picture into a newspaper page? In a sense I try to leave
uniform 'white space' around the outside of a photo when I crop it.

I'm totally ignorant there. Would give me a chance to learn something. When the camera focuses on the batter, I trash the pic. I want a pic of the pitcher, not the batter -- he's the enemy, ha!

By properly aligning yourself up the first-base line, you can get the pitcher, the ball, the sliding runner, and sometimes others. When a coach, an umpire, a second runner, are all focused on the ball, I like the way your eyes are drawn to the action. What's your opinion? Does that make the picture too busy?

Often when a player slides, feet-first, he holds his hands high. Makes for a more dramatic pic, don't you think? Sliding head-first usually gives a flatter picture.

I also like pictures behind home plate if I can get the ball, the bat, and the batter all at once.

My favorite pictures of baseball pitchers are when the ball just leaves the pitcher's hand. Often it takes me 10, 20, attempts or more to get the timing to suit me. Sometimes I also like a shot of the pitcher's arm folded across his body as he finishes his delivery.

Thanks for the compliment, Jules. I appreciate your response. So: back to the ballpark! But today's high temp of 40 degrees will minimize the pleasure!

Thanks for your comments. Suppose you could say that baseball shots are my passion.

A treat for me -- never seen a weasel in the midwest. Thanks for posting.

As further examples of what last night's sports editor seemed to prefer are these pics. I'm proud to have the ball + the player's face in each pic; but, again, that editor's choice apparently was the emotion in the faces.
