SRW would add an action pic, but unfortunately all we have are static shots because we haven't seen him move yet.

Oh boy...where do I take this one!?!
Catcher has the ball, runner missed the plate, and you're 10 feet away!
Blah. I'm too tired to go there.

Hey, that's me! Thanks for posting the pic. Why hasn't that magazine we can't mention on this forum published this photo this year? they've done two others this year.
Darn straight I was 10 feet away. Maybe not quite 10 feet, but I remember this play. Originally had to be far enough back to have all elements of play in front of me, including the catch by the right fielder, tag up by runner at third, etc. So I had moved back to the fence and up the line (known as the holding area - you can look it up) so I could see all I needed to see without so much as a slight head turn...
Plus I had to make up for those who can't seem to get out from behind the plate no matter what...not that we have any of those...
Plus, it's much easier to not call crow hops from there.
