Photos: An Afternoon At The Ballpark




One of the advantages to having a flexible schedule at work is that it affords you the opportunity to spend a day at the ballpark with your family.

As part of my son�s PONY Little League season that recently concluded, all of the kids were given vouchers for free tickets to a Chicago White Sox game. While the tickets were in the upper deck, we still had a great view of the game and had an enjoyable day even though it reminded me of one reason minor league baseball is better � cost!

Without the expense of tickets to the game, I didn�t think the cost would be too bad. But $22.00 for parking and $30.00 for four drinks and three hot dogs does not make for a cheap afternoon. Then throw in some cotton candy, a super rope, and Edy�s Dibs just to make sure there isn�t any money left.

For the first time, I decided to bring my Nikon D40x along to the game to try and capture a few interesting pictures. Before I share a few of my pictures (btw, I was shooting in JPEG mode) with you, I have to say that I am a bit apprehensive given that there is now a professional photographer here at The Man Page.

Enjoy the photos and please let me know what you think.

To see more of the photos that were taken at the game, check out my White Sox picture set at flickr.
