Why add unnecessarily to the Gates mythology, eh? But I agree with your basic point -- I got some Mariners (baseball) tickets last week that were close enough to the field to justify bringing a camera. Shooting the batter's box with a 90mm on a M6, I was able to see the pitcher's windup and delivery outside the frame lines, and that allowed me to anticipate the ball crossing the plate a split-second later. (Unfortunately, my batting average was a bit below that of the M's that day...but it was a great game!) Chuck Albertson Seattle, Wash.
