Tigers vs Yankees 8-29-14

[captmjk16]

Following the prior day's spotting trip ehhh... "airport pickup", I made what has become an annual pilgrimage to watch the the Tigers face off with the Yankees. This year I was viewing the game closer to home, having made the trek down to Comerica Park. Armed with a 70-200 and seats just to the side of the dugout, I shot my first baseball game of the year, competing with other spectators for the best views of the action. I didn't feel like I was on my game from a shooting perspective during the game, though as the game went on I found myself getting more keepers.

Tiger's minor leaguer Kyle Lobstein got his first start in the bigs after pitching 5 2/3 innings in relief last week
