derek jeter (big money) at bat and alex rodriguez (bigger money) on deck playing the white sox in chicago. trying out the high iso of my new Nikon D70 - and pretty happy with the output. i actually wasn't trying to take this shot and was wishing the rodriguez would get out of my line-of-sight of the batter.

176 entries, and maybe 5 that attempted to show anything to do with the culture. Funny, my guide book goes about 50/50 for shots of scenery compared to shots of culture awareness. DPC is a homogenized community. Majority rules here. 20th isn't bad, but in my contest you were in the top 5. Congratulations on a high finish. russ
Really nice catch of the identical batting stances. I'm a big baseball fan, so I like seeing shots like this. good choice of dof so both are in forcus. I even like having the third base umpire right down the line. Composition makes this shot. (Did ya win?)
M-E-T-S...Well even though Derek Jeter has only had a couple hits, you should do better than him in this one, great shot of NY. (A Rod should have definitely gone Bosox...)
Most sports photos dont really catch my eye, This one did. Nice grab with the 2 in the same position. More then that have to envy your seat placement to actually grab a photo like this.
One of the few photgrahs in the challenge that helped me to feel what it feels like where you live, not just what it looks like. thanks for doing something refreshing. This DPC crowd is sooooooooo homogenized!!!
New York?! I don't think so. You have a nice photo here. But I feel like you are being misleading with the title. People who don't know baseball or even non-Americans will think this is New York when it actually isn't. Like I said nice picture. I'm giving you a 7 for the photo, would have been higher if not for the misleading title.
