2020 MLB Season

November 28, 2020 in MLB

What a season.

Zero fans. Countless COVID tests. Old favorite faces. New friendships.

It was weird and great and unforgettable.

I’ve got to thank the gang at MLB for having me back for a second year as an LCC (Live Content Creator). Kaycie, Jake, and Lucas: you guys did so much to make this season as normal and problem-free as possible despite the circumstances and I cannot applaud you enough.

I’m also thankful for Royals videographer Sam Lutz for keeping me sane as the only other media member on the field this season, and for the Royals organization for trusting in me to be around their players and on the field during a global pandemic.

If you’re interested reading about my experience photographing professional sports in 2020, I did an interview with Ticketmaster that you can read HERE.

Otherwise, I’ll just let my favorite images from this year do the talking:

World Series Parade

November 05, 2015

By now you've all heard that the Kansas City Royals won the 2015 World Series. As a relatively new Royals fan and even newer Kansas City resident, I can only imagine the joy a long-time fan must feel based on my insane level of happiness. I got a taste of just how over-the-moon fans in Kansas City and the surrounding area are on Tuesday, when an 800,000 people crowded the streets of downtown Kansas City to watch their World Series Champions parade. Being present for the sea of royal blue fans, deafening shouts of "PAY ZOBRIST," Gomes' hilarious "unpolitically correct" speech and getting to hold the Commissioner's Trophy was amazing. This city is definitely a baseball town, whatever the naysayers may think. And despite wearing off the heel of one of my boots while walking the parade route a half dozen times, I had a blast covering the World Series Parade for MLB. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the day:

ALCS Game 4 (WE GOIN' TO DA 'SHIP!)

October 17, 2014 in MLB

The Kansas City Royals are World Series bound next week after a 2-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles. They've yet to lose a game in this postseason, and with the way they're playing and announcement that South Korean superfan SungWoo Lee will be in attendance for Game 1 of the Fall Classic, you have to wonder if they ever will.

I also gave gif-making a try for the first time:

ALCS Game 3

October 15, 2014 in MLB

Last night (after a delay due to Monday's rainout), the Kansas City Royals defeated the Baltimore Orioles 2-1 and are now potentially one game and eight hours away from clinching a World Series berth. What?!

ALDS: ROYALS SWEEP ANGELS

October 06, 2014 in MLB

If you had told me one week ago that as of today, the Kansas City Royals would have won four-straight postseason games (three of which in extra innings, three of which against the team with the best record in baseball), I would have laughed. Last night I had the opportunity to head back to the K and photograph the boys in blue as they swept the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Despite a first inning blast by Mike Trout, the Royals pushed on and defeated the Halos 3-8. Up next: Baltimore Orioles.
