Tonight I couldn't have asked for a better assignment. I shot the Yankees at White Sox baseball game at U.S. Cellular Field.

Being at the game was perfect because I had been wanting to see the Yankees. I didn't get a chance to go to a Yankees game during my stay in New York last week. So, the fact that I got to shoot them tonight made up for it.

There was, however, a 1-hour, 26-minute rain delay before the start of the game. The rain was coming down pretty hard so the game did not start until late. During the down time, I looked around for weather features.

I shot some images and walked down the tunnel next to the dugout toward the photo dark room. As I walked by the visitor's lockerroom, the door open. It was no other than Alex Rodriguez.

It was really weird seeing him because the minute I saw him I did not change my way. I looked at him for a brief second and continue walking toward the dark room. I guess I am becoming pretty immune to seeing big-name people. I did not think much of seeing A-Rod. I just saw him and continue my journey. Kind of odd.

Once the game got started it was good. There weren't too many action shots, but I was able to get this first-inning sliding catch.

Later, White Sox Manager Ozzie Guillen got thrown out of the game by the first base umpire. Ozzie was not going to go down quiet. He told the "blue" a few things and I was able to get some nice shots of this key moment in the game.

I got a chance to use the big boy lens today. Woohoo. It's always fun to use the big lens. It allows one to get some nice shots.

Being at the stadium was nice. Now I have another stadium to add to the list of places where I worked. Cool!
