World Series Parade

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:

World Series Batting Practice

The Kansas City Royals made their way back to the Fall Classic again this year, and I'm priviliged enough to make my way back as well. This year, I'll be running cards and photo editing for the New York Mets, as well as working for the marketing department at MLB, photographing advertisement partners. I was too impatient to wait for the games to get underway so today I drove out to the stadium to grab my credentials, mark my spot in the photo well and shoot a little bit of batting practice.
