That's Gotta Hurt

Not only did this poor guy get nailed right in the middle of the

back on this pitch, but what do you think happened his next time

up? Yup, and in the same spot, the shot was just a little early on

that one.

That's really gotta hurt!! Nice moment captured. Congrats!

Moe.

I have to give it to you on this one. I have never seen this shot captured at exactly "the" moment. Please tell me that this was published. I do hope that you give an enlargement to this player. because he at the very least deserves it for being your "model of the moment." And you deserve all the credit for a great capture. Bravo! JH

Great capture and timing!

Kirt,

This a sweet photo. Great moment, a different moment I don't see that much from baseball. Cropped perfectly. NICE!

I appreciate all the thoughts and compliments. To answer some questions...

 

The photo has not been published (other than here). I was, in fact, hired by the subject's (victim's?) father to get some shots of him in action.

 

What I will say is that whatever prints Dad decides to order, I will most certainly add this shot to the collection (on me). I think it's one of those moments that his son is likely to appreciate more in the future than he will today (in fact, he's probably pretty sore today).

 

Don't know if any of you have seen it, but I have an "impending impact" softball shot on photo.net as well. That one was taken just an instant before it hit.
