Best Foul Ball EVER!!!!!!!

THe first year of Hammons Field I was sent to shoot a baseball game between the SMS Bears and Evansville.

A foul ball was hit that went up and over the safety net behind home plate and landed in a bag I kept under my tripod.

This is edited video from the sports archive. I wish I would have saved the Raw ... live and learn.

I did make stills fromt he TWO frames that show the baseball before it lands in my bag.

The video IS edited, but the edits only shortened the experience.

Coach Abe

Bears blog on News-Leader.com has is right. Read it here

The Lady Bears under coach Abe didn't seem to be as community friendly as under the previous Coach.  I remember seeing all sorts of people in the stands for Lady Bears practice before Coach Abe.  At the very least, it ewasn't openly discouraged.

Coach Burnett didn't seem to mind if we took pictures of practice.  But it seemd to be a real problem for Coach Abe.

Add the poor results in the last two seasons, and growing detachment from the community, and the departure of Coach Abe isn't all that surprising.  Just didn't think it would happen this year.
