20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
The American Pastime

While covering this game as a volunteer Photography for a local university, I had no problem getting some really good shots. Note the artificial turf of the field. There is not one spot of dirt anywhere on this baseball field. This capture is a great depiction of the process - hitting a very fast ball, running to the bases, and, hopefully, making it around the diamond and reaching home base, scoring a run.
