In between rounds of golf, I shot three state baseball games at Huntington Park in downtown Columbus. The park just opened this spring for the Columbus Clippers, the Cleveland Indians AAA affiliate, and it is absolutely gorgeous. Ballpark Digest calls it the “perfect park,” and I’d have to agree. Well, with the exception of the dugout railing being about four inches too tall for my monopod. I had to stand on my tiptoes, and my shoulders definitely got a workout hand holding my long glass. There were plenty of clean views from the stands, so I didn’t spend the entire game in the dugout anyway.

About the baseball… I shot Newark Catholic’s and Pickerington North’s attempts to capture their respective divisions’ state titles. Newark Catholic came up just short in Friday’s morning Div. IV semifinal game against New Middletown Springfield in a 5-3 loss. Pick North had better luck in the Div. I evening semifinal against Green, giving them a 10-2 spanking. The Panthers didn’t have the same winning spark in Saturday’s final against Cincinnati Moeller, losing 5-2.
