"Barry Bonds"
Equipment: Nikon F90x    Date: November 2000

An all-star team from the United States played an exhibition game with an all-star team from the Japan leagues.  I've never gotten too much into sports, but I knew enough to know that Barry Bonds is a pretty important figure in Major League Baseball these days.  I got a press pass for the game from a friend of mine who works public relations for the base in Yokosuka, and so I wondered freely through the crowd, eventually coming to a rest behind the home plate fence.  If I remember correctly, Bonds got "a swing and a miss" on this particular pitch, so no glorious home run photo for me.  Besides, seconds after I snapped this, I was asked to move by one of the ushers.
