Shooter's Comments: I set up a remote camera, but it was a bust. I guess that's why you don't depend on them. I did have two frames from it, but my shot from my main camera was better and tighter, even though I cut off the fingers.

Baseball is one of my biggest challenges. The game lulls you to sleep and then, bam!, it explodes. The above shot was my best photo from the day.
