2011 Greater Victoria Baseball Association Spring League Championships
June 24, 2011, Victoria, BC - Triangle Rockie's Jaden Wakeham slides dramatically into third base under the tag of Carnarvon Riverdawg's Silas Strong during the 2011 GVBA Mosquito Championship Game Friday evening at Allenby Park in Victoria. The Rockies would use a seven run final inning to overcome a 7-4 deficit and defeat the Riverdawgs 11-7.
Why I Chose This Photo - Simply another example of a great facial expression on the athlete, plus the fact that I caught him in mid-air with arms fully extended, bits of dirt flying off his cleats. You can also just see a hint of the ball in the fielder's glove which also makes the viewer wonder whether the runner was safe or out? I honestly don't recall but I like the drama the photo provides.
