On August 7th, 2008, my brother Kurt took myself and my two sons to a Seattle Mariners baseball game versus Tampa Bay and watched Raul Ibanez hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 9th to win the game!
So a year later we are visiting Seattle and once again, watching the Seattle Mariners play against the Tampa Bay. And once again, we see a walk-off home run ... this time by Ryan Langerhans in the bottom of the 11th inning!
Pictures below (Canon 40D and 50D respectively - both with 55-250) and more info here and here.
So I attend two Seattle Mariners baseball games and both are won via walk-off home runs. And I'm lucky enough to capture point-of-impact pictures from both. I should retire right now from taking pictures at these! ;-)
James: - yea, I've brought your team some bad luck! ;-)
tim: also on your suggestion - please forward to the Mariner's organization for me!
Our seats were actually on the upper level down the 1st base line - see first picture below. However, we moved down to some vacated seats near the end of both games - not quite the same location, but close - second picture below is from 2008 and third one is 2009.
- yea, I've brought your team some bad luck! ;-)
