Just a couple of days ago, this blog looked at a Roseville (MN) Youth Baseall Championship game. (I love this game at all levels – and this may be its purest.) For that post click, here. It was a see-saw contest that ended on a legitimate triple play. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a camera with me – just my phone. Fortunately, Douglas and Tamar Saum were shooting the game for the Roseville youth baseball organization. Baseball Roundtable thanks them both for letting BBRT share these great shots that reflect what our national pastime really is all about. I wanted to share them with all BBRT readers because I believe they will rekindle memories of that time when baseball – from pick-up games to Little League to Wiffle Ball (TM) in the backyard to World Series shutouts tossed into a pitchback to games we invented using the statisticas on the back of baseeball cards – first became part of our lives. All photos by Douglas and Tamar Saum.
I hope you enjoy this look at baseball being played (as well as coached and umpired) for the love of the game.
Coming soon: A guest post from Ross Uitts of Old Sports Cards on his ten favorite baseball cards o(f all time.
Good form, intense concentration, getting that force out at the two bag.
The crowd rewards a safety as the runer gets to first.
Making contact is so satisfying.
The opposition agrees … getting the bat on the ball is a tension reliever.
The dugout can be a stressful place when you find your team trailing.
A triple play – a victory – a championship – and a hat toss for the Red Sox.
