This was my first live baseball game EVER! I'm trying to work on the sports portion of my portfolio, which is a challenge considering that, until recently, athletics were not of much interest to me. I am trying to learn the games, while capturing the verbs and understanding what's going on. I'm gaining a new appreciation for the games and the players, and would love any advice or pointers (on images or cutlines) that anyone may like to offer.
