This was a tough category to judge. All of the top three were in contention for first at one point. First place is a great moment and facial expression. It beat out a photo of the exact same moment because it was a bit sharper. Second place really used the natural light of the arena to capture a peak moment in a graphic composition with a unique angle. Third place had all the elements line up, and a good facial expression framed between the baseman’s legs.
