For the past couple of years I have tried to take more photographs at baseball games. I do this for two reasons. First, because at times I have been fortunate enough to catch some great moments for individual players and have gotten the opportunity to share those moments with the players. Second, because I have really enjoyed getting autographs on photos that I have taken.
Regardless of the reasoning I love to share my photographs with others and would like to share my favorites of the 2012 season. Most involve minor league baseball games but there are a few from Mariners games. If you have some photos from the 2012 baseball season and would like to share them post them on the 9 Inning Know It All Facebook page.
Here are my top pictures for the year.
