My friend Bob invited me to come out to see his vintage baseball team, the Lemont Quarrymen. They played this Labor Day weekend at the Pullman Historic Site. This group of vintage players follows 1858 rules: no mitts, no strikes, and you be caught out on a catch after the first bounce. A very different kind of game. The game was lively and interesting to watch. I’ll have to watch for the next time they play. It was also fun wandering the Pullman Historic Site, which the Federal Park Service now manages. Unfortunately, I had to leave for a shoot that afternoon, so I don’t know who won, but it sure looked like they all had fun.
When I shoot for myself, I almost always travel with my Leica. It really is my favorite camera. I know it’s not a sports camera, but I did well with it.
