Thanks, Al.  If I recall correctly, it was a fly ball that was caught 
near 2nd base.  The X-E1 sensor is great, but the old Oly E-1 feels 
better in my hands.  On either one, the Leica Summicron-R performs very 
well.  I cradle the lens hood between thumb and forefinger, and press my 
hand against the fence, centered on an opening.
