Here's the first pitch of the 2010 season. ^ Pregame ritual with a moment of silence for the Virginia Tech shooting victims on the anniversary of the tragedy.^ Sports photographer Brian Hoffman shoots the pregame meeting. ^ The Yankees' new hat. ^ Oh, say, can you see ... ^ ... by the dawn's early light? ^ One more hot dog and this fan wouldn't have gotten through. ^ The Salem constabulary looking for somebody to bust. ^ It ain't real until TeeVee gets rolling. ^ What's the point of baseball? Why, conversation, of course. ^ This guy got to the park early so he could have an aisle seat.^ Beer line, waiting for ... ^ ... headless beer.^ Want some fries with that catsup?^ Mmmmmmmm, buuuurger(s)!^ This young woman is either waiting for somebody or she has more of a problem than she wants to admit.^ This slender lass had the appetite of a linebacker.^ Grandpa and the boy are making a memory.^ Jill and Glynn Loope had box seats and were happy about it.^ Joe Kelliher and the lovely Megan were happy in the right field picnic area where Meg chomped a 'dog.^ My pal Robert Freis was at his long-established spot in left field with his new "beer man," who, as my wife pointed out, is a "beer wench." They could not have begun without Rob in place.^
Opening night at Salem Stadium saw a robust crowd of about 4,000 watching the Salem Red Sox and the Myrtle Beach Pelicans open the Carolina League baseball season. It was a lovely night with temperatures in the upper 70s as the game began. These photos give you a bit of an idea what it was like. Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed shooting them.
