Making contact

Fenway Park - Mike Napoli makes contact. The baseball is pitched at nearly 90 miles per hour and leaves the bat at over 100 miles per hour. The batter has less than 1/2 second to respond to the pitch.

In this photo, no one has time to react other than the batter.

Klasse Dynamik!
Habe noch nie live so ein Match gesehen, verstehe auch fast nichts von den Regeln.
Aber meinen Spaß würde ich haben :-)!
Viele Grüße, Uwe
