Local team gets a chance to play on world series field.

Two of the teams from town were invited to play on the field where the little league world series is played in Williamsport, PA this past weekend. This field/stadium was simply awesome! The one they played in was the main one, with another field/stadium very simular right behind this one, and several other fields close by. Since these two teams were the only teams playing, I was given the oportunity to shoot from what is called the photo well (to the left of the center of photo #1 where tarp is laying), which is between the two dugouts. The kids had a great time, and were given the opportunity to play any posistion they wanted to try. I beleive everyone had a chance to pitch.

So here are a few photos from the day. As always, C&C welcomed!

#1 View of the field/stadium from behind the Little League Hall of Fame/Museum


#2 View of the scoreboard from the photo well.


#3 Waiting for the call from the catcher.


#4 "Cool Hand" Luke sliding into home plate.


#5 "Cool Hand" Luke playing first base.


#6 "Cool Hand" Luke ready to give catching a go!


#7 After the game


Thanks for looking! Now I'd really like to go back there for the actual world series, and tour the Hall of Fame/Museum!

My vote goes to #4 for action and #6 for expression! In the former, the facial profile works well even though it's in the shadow.

I can tell that the light was not your friend in this series, as many of the faces are backlit. Judging from the shadows, the sun was high and coming in off the right or mid-field, which is not easy to deal with. #3 seems a little soft, but it could be my monitor. Otherwise, really nice composition.

BTW, are you any relation to Jack Brosius from the Washngton DC area? Brosius is not a common name.

Thanks for the comments! Yes, the light was not that great, as it was close to noon when they started, and was a very sunny day.

I don't know if I'd be related to Jack or not. But then again, I've been finding a lot of people that I'm related to, and never knew it. If you know this guy, ask him if he is related to a Clarence R or Clarence B Brosius, originally from Paxton, which is north of Millersburg, Pa.
