Less than one week till Major League Baseball's true opening day, and that is Cincinnati Reds opening day. When the season opens, Jeff Keppinger, seen in this photograph in a late 2008 season game against the Pirates at Great American Ballpark, will not be on the roster. Keppinger, a fan favorite in Cincinnati, was traded yesterday to the Houston Astro's.
For this photograph, anticipation played a key role in getting the shot. I set up along the first base line and focused on secondbase, once a runner was on first. Sure enough a few pitches later a 6 to 3 double play developed. This is one of my favorite Cincinnati Reds photographs. The only thing that would have enhanced the shot...fans in the stands. Since I have zero Photoshop skills, that was not possible. Picture takenwith a Nikon D200, 80-200 2.8 lens at 1/1600th of a second.
