Whew!

A couple of weeks ago, the Friends of Harrison County Youth baseball (and softball) guys asked me if we'd like to be the official tournament photographers for their July baseball tournaments. Sounded like something Life in Corydon should participate in, so we agreed. This last weekend was our first effort. What they wanted mostly were pictures of every boy and girl in the tourney. There were 16 teams in an 8 and Under single elmination event, and 10 more teams playing in a 10 and Under competition. Figure an average of 12 players per team, that's 312 at least. The first two nights there were often 4 games being played simultaneously.

Meredith and I managed to do it, I think, though no doubt we missed somebody's kid.

I've never photographed six baseball games in one day before. If that wasn't bad enough, on Saturday I was standing near the Floyd dugout thinking, "You know, if I spend enough time inside the fence, it's inevitable that I'm going to get hit by a ball." Not five minutes later a foul ball caught me on the ankle. Nice bruise.

We'll put the latest pictures on Life in Corydon later this morning and get back to some non-baseball later this week. If you're interested, there are literally hundreds of baseball pictures for the weekend's games at "lifeincorydon.smugmug.com/sports".
