  1. Another great shot, Hags. Reminds me of when our buddy Marty Budner got me a job shooting high school basketball. I had an old, slow rangerfinder. Couldn't shoot action shots. So I did the best I could, and shot stuff like the team huddles or the coaches bench talks to the team. The editor complimented me, saying "Gregg, you have a good eye. You shoot stuff nobody else shoots..." Little did he know...

  2. Gregg, that's smart photography: knowing the limits of your equipment and making the best of it. I don't shoot tons of action shots because I don't have a $5,000 (or more) monster telephoto lens and because how many shots do you need of a guy sliding into 2B?

  3. You'll be pulling this photo out and sharing it again in 2032 when this kid follows in his dad's footsteps (and his grandpa's) and signs a free agent contract with the Tigers.
