Last night’s epic 14 inning World Series Game 1 contest between the New York Mets and Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium in the land of saucy BBQ was one that I will never forget shooting. The game opened my 16th straight World Series that I have photographed for Major League Baseball and man was it fun. The rain stopped right when the game started at 7:07 pm and for the next five hours and nine minutes it was a real pleasure and honor to be witnessing and shooting this historical ballgame from the third base side of the field and working with a terrific group of fellow shooters and editors.
By the time the game ended in the bottom of the 14th inning with the Royals on top 5-4 I was cocky enough that I didn’t sprint to the nearest bathroom to pee, but almost! I don’t have much time to write today because I needed to sleep for a bit and our team has lunch plans, so let’s look at a few of my favorite pictures from the game!
