OK I was at the ball park yesterday to see the Diamondbacks play the Marlins. I saw this kid with his dad trying to get the attention of the camera guy so they could be on the jumbo tron. The camera guy didn't see him. This is the Pictorial:

See kid behind him Trying to get his attention

Sadness

But then Baxter the mascot went over and made the little boy happy again!

Thanks I got some shots of the game but these seemed more compelling. This is Baxter that saved the little boys day

I can take up to my 80-200 2.8 the lens hood is not included in the dimensions. They give me a little bit of hard time at the gate but I am with in the rules and I always check with guest services before a game.

Just wondering if a Bigma can be brought in to a game.
