To answer a couple PM's I've received, batter shots do not necessarily have to contain the ball, or a proximity of ball-on-bat, to be worthwhile. Here's a capture of Cubs 1B Anthony Rizzo hitting a solo home run in the same game as the shots above. It's taken from the "wrong" side (It's normally thought that LH batters should be taken from down the 3B line), and it captures a point in time well after the ball and bat collided. Tells a decent story, though.
I totally agree and if i may add it applies also to football where it is not absolutely necessary to see the ball in the shot to grasp what's going on. The eyes of the QB as he follows the ball he has just thrown to his wide receiver are usually very expressive and full of concentration.
I won't post an example of this out of respect for dmwierz, but i'm sure you "get the picture" :-)
