Same camera as before, Nikon D1. There are still bands there, but I liked these shots a lot.

Snow in May, during a baseball game. Argh!

Probably my favorite shot, I was lucky enough to snap just as he was getting beaned. Only regret is I wasn't moved over just a little bit more to get more of his facial expression.

Another nice shot of the shortstop completing a double play.

    Nice timing. Nice framing. They do seem a little flat to me though. Maybe a little contrast and or saturation. Looks like you were using a pretty high iso. 1600?

    That shot of the kid getting beaned is good.

    I think the banding you're seeing is because your ISO is set pretty
    high. From the EXIF, I see the shutter speed as 1/12000 @ 2.8. At
    least that is my guess. Try something in the 100-400 range when
    you try next.

    Thanks both for the suggestions. New camera comes today or Friday (my own, my precccccioussss) and I'm going to be doing the "What can I break on this thing" dance all weekend long.
