During the 2018 Muskoka Cup games the Whitby Blues baseball team proved itself to be a very solid Rookie team. The batters crushed some great hits and the fielders were quick and alert in tracking down balls. Everyone watching the games had to be impressed with the effort and level of play. These guys are strong and serious competitors, and they know how to keep all the fun in the game too.
It’s good to see a baseball team coming up from my old neighborhood east of the GTA. Until a few years ago I lived in the area and know Whitby, Ajax, Pickering and Scarborough well. I’ve photographed a lot of sports in Durham-Scarborough over the years! It is nice to get another chance to photograph a Whitby baseball game, this time all the way up in Muskoka! I hope you will enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed watching and photographing the game.
If you’re with any of the other baseball teams at the Muskoka Cup tournament and would like to see your game photos posted next then please get in touch to let me know.
When photographing sports I’m looking for stand-alone moments to capture, but often will end up with a sequence of photos telling a story of a play. The photos above depict one of those situations involving Whitby Blues player, “Ironman”, making a hit, sprinting his way around the bases, getting waved home and sliding into home plate. The slide was a little off the line stranding Ironman just out of reach of the plate. A mad scramble for the ball, the tag and the plate happened all at once. The dust was flying! What an effort those boys put in!
Below are all the Whitby Blues baseball photos from the game. Each photo is marked in a corner with a file number which helps identify the image in the event anyone would like to request a large copy for printing.
In this Whitby Blues baseball photos page I have not disabled downloading of pictures or covered photos with watermarks to inhibit their use. The work was created for the team to enjoy, share and use free of charge. This was not a paid shoot but an entirely voluntary effort to create some nice work for you.
If you enjoy the photos and would like to show appreciation I would be grateful! Please go to the Contribute page to see how you can help support my work.
I’ve also added a “create your own review” button below, and a new testimonials page where you can leave a rating and review. I would greatly appreciate some input as it may help other local baseball families and teams notice the site and become aware of the photography and service available to them. Thank you! – Boyd Otter
