Texas Rangers v Minnesota Twins Monday, August 23, 2010

The Rangers nearly had a no hitter, they only gave up one hit. The highlight of the night for me though was capturing a fan's attempt to catch a foul ball in the upper deck, he some how missed it with his hands and caught it with his face. It made the AP wire which helped it make several slideshows online from media outlets across the country and the butt of many jokes. All the links to the various news outlets that used some of my photos are under the "references" link at the bottom of this post. The guys over at Sports of Blogitude especially like the foul ball photo: http://www.sportressofblogitude.com/2010/08/24/photo-the-one-man-on-the-planet-who-should-bring-a-glove-to-a-baseball-game/comment-page-1/#comment-37449
