Arizona: Spring Training in 2018

As we are currently in Spring Training time in Arizona, I thought I’d throw it back to last year, when my company took their annual outing to a game.

We saw the Chicago Cubs versus the San Diego Padres, on March 13, 2018. I had just purchased my Sigma 100-400mm lens the week before, so it was a good time to test out the zoom.

Once the game started, I tried to catch some of the action.

It was really fun trying to capture the pitchers winding up and throwing.

Of course, we had to sing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” in the 7th inning!

This year, we’ll be attending the Padres versus Brewers game at Peoria Stadium on March 20, 2019. Look for those pictures after the game!
