Close Call While Shooting Baseball

Had my first close call last night while shooting the Seattle Mariners vs Oakland Athletics MLB baseball game in Seattle. An Oakland player fouled the ball and without anytime to think to duck, the ball whizzed right past my head! Talking with regular MLB photographers, it’s bound to happen every year. So I guess, this wasn’t my time.

Oh yeah, I got the shot of the ball coming at me (see below).
