~sigh~ We (Cincinnati Reds) are in desperate need of a "real" closer. Think you could ship him over here? By the way...nice shot. I've never been able to get one this close. This really looks like it could be on the sports section of the newspaper.

I love the action but would like a bit more focus. The colors could use just a bit of boost but this is a nice entry. Good luck. I love the Phillies and the Eagles!!

Toss the heat Billy.....awesome shot, looks like you are on the ground next to him ! Fantastic photo that very well could be on the front page of the sports section.

Ok action photo. Not sure It'd be used in the sports section though. /shrug (just my opinion)

good sports photography... personally i would like to see a faster shutter speed for a sharper image, but i think this works well. 10

awesome shot ... maybe if it wasn't blurry, I'd like it better. But those pitchers are so damn fast!
