May 15, 1999 vs. Tigers
(Click on the individual photos to see the full-size version) (Be very patient.   This page will take a while to load.)

These photos were taken with a Nikon F3 (a 17 year-old manual focus camera) and a Nikon 300mm f2.8 lens. I was using 400 speed Fugi print film. (I will switch to 800 speed for subsequent games to allow a faster shutter speed. A new Nikon F5 is on the horizon.)

The first two photos appear identical but they are not.  Here is Zach's pitching form.
