This may be one of the most memorable photos I've ever taken, not because it's a great shot, but because its lasting impact on me - literally. I was so focused on the shot I was trying to get, I hardly noticed the foul ball coming right toward me. I was standing in the photographer's section right near first base when a line-drive foul ball hit my left leg. I was shooting with a 300 2.8 lens on a monopod and just didn't react in time. It hurt for a while, but at least it gave my department something to laugh about.

I keep a photo that I took while on the yearbook staff in high school for the exact same reason. I was so focused on getting a good shot that I got tackled.
ouch! hope you recovered! third base at softball is just as bad... especially at the UVA park -- shooting = dodgeball. good post and excellent point/advice. :-)
