Very nicely done, Bill. I love seeing kids in sports.


Thanks Ken - glad you liked it. It's great seeing the kids out there as they're just learning the game.

Stunning capture, Bill...spent four year as president of a Little League so this brings back memories of when our kids played. Thanks for sharing and congratulations on getting it published!!


Thanks jederick - I appreciate your comments. My little town has always had a very active Little League, and I can remember how much fun it was playing all those many years ago.

Very nice Bill.

My granddaughter is involved in softball and will soon have some games to shoot (if the rain ever stops). Do you have a recommendation for where to stand to get shots like this? I'm a bit concerned about the wire fencing of the backstop.

Thanks Vicki - glad you liked it. I used to stand on the first base side as close as I could get to the field; that gave me a pretty good view of the right-handed batters. I did have to duck every once in a while though to avoid some screaming foul balls.

Thanks for the advice Bill. I’ll try that rather than shooting through the wires.

Great timing. Good to see the kid didn't swing at it.

Thanks tcthome - glad you liked it. I think he was too busy getting out of the way to think about swinging.
