My wife and I went to watch our grandsons play ball Saturday afternoon. Note: About half of the team is made up of girls, and pretty good ones at that.<br>

<br>

All images captured with a Canon 30D and Sigma 120-300f/2.8. The first four are with a 1.4x TC attached (168 - 420mm f/4).<br>

2) Pretty good form for a girl! Actually, she fields her position well and throws good too!<br>

Thanks Barry. All I can say is "Eeeeee!!" Although I know a 300 2.8 lens would be great for baseball and especially night-time football, I'm so small time that I'm sure I'll never afford one. I'll try to play with the aperture priority and see if that might improve my shots. Thanks for your contributions on Photo.Net. I've certainly enjoyed following the sports photogs and seeing everyone's work.
