I had the opportunity to cover my hometown team, the Atlanta Braves, when they visited the Los Angeles Angels. Too bad it was a pretty horrific game in my opinion, it ended with the Braves losing 9-0. I was also displeased with the fact that there weren’t really any good opportunities to get decent pictures. I guess that’s what happens when the team falls into a slump. Well I got the usual images, and also a few more stock images that could tell the story of the game. First up was Los Angeles Angels pitcher Ervin Santana kissing the ball in prayer.
