Photos of the Week - April 20, 2009

For this weeks photos of the week we have a variety of baseball photos from a few different games. The first photo is a play at the plate. Do you think he was safe or out? I think by looking at this photo it is quite easy to tell. The second photo is my personal favorite of this group from this week. If I had to pick a "Photo of the Week," I would pick this one. Here a Vermont player is nearly hit with a middle inside fastball. The last two photos come from the Vermont vs Plattsburgh baseball game. One shows a Cardinal trying to elude a tag on his way back to first. He was called out, but I don't think he was ever tagged. I have other photos that follow the one here that show this but the one posted exemplifies him never being tagged. I'm surprised he didn't argue. The other photo left shows a Plattsburgh player sliding back into first. I feel bad for him with all the sand that splashed in his face. Until next week...enjoy!

Photos of the Week - April 13, 2009

Sorry to be brief but I'm busy this week!! Today we have photos I took from the UVM Baseball Tournament, and Saint Michaels College Athletics. The SMC Baseball photo is by far my favorite as he was definitely safe. Sorry, but that is all for now! Hopefully I will have more to say next week.

Photos of the Week - April 6, 2009

This week we have five photos from four different teams. So far, other than one day, the cliche that there are April showers has held up. Other than Thursday, it rained during all of the games that I covered last week for Saint Michaels College. Fortunately for me, I have a rain cover for my camera! Included this week is a photo some of you may have seen as it is on the front page of my website currently. Another photo is from a Women's Lacrosse game when one player is being struck in the face by another players stick. Speaking of lacrosse, you will also see a goal from the Men's Lacrosse team. The remaining two pictures include two doubles partners chasing after the same ball in a tennis match, and a softball pitcher. Remember, you may click on a photo to enlarge it.
