Texas Rangers beat Los Angeles Angels and Josh Hamilton

I covered the Texas Rangers / Los Angeles Angels game Sunday night for Getty Images. For just my second baseball game of the season I came away with some nice photos. It usually takes me a couple of weeks to relearn how to photograph baseball after the long off-season. UPDATE, apparently I spawned the "Sad Josh Hamilton" meme on tumblr, http://sadjoshhamilton.tumblr.com/
