I caught my first ball at Camden Yards, hit by Right Fielder Kevin
Kiermeier of the Tampa Bay Rays on 6-27-14. It was a make-up game that was
originally rained out.
I didn't have to wait long since it happened in
the 1st half of the 1st inning with only 1 out. Kevin went on to have a great
game and unfortunately the Os lost.
I held my DSLR with it's 300mm
zoom lens in my right hand and jumped a bit to outreach the guy next to me and
caught it with my left hand. It had bounced high from a different section right
to me with a good deal of spin on it but I held on to the ball with no problem.
I remember thinking the night before that if I got a chance for
a ball I would use my hat to catch it but when it happened I instinctively used
my hand without once thinking about my hat! :)
