Last night I posted some shots from a baseball game yesterday and a couple of folks mentioned that perhaps we should have a general sports thread. And then Bill showed one of his grandson playing Aussie Rules Futball, which increased the impetus. So here goes.
In the name of starting it off, here are the baseball shots re-posted (because I don't have anything newer this morning!). I tend to attend baseball games and cycle races in person and the two big local cycle races are happening when I'm gonna be out of town this summer, so this may be it from me for a while. But I'm sure you folks have all kinds of great sports shots. Lets put the lie to the canard that M43 can't be used for action shots (OK, it may not be optimal, but its certainly capable!).
