Very nice. I have total lens envy. Not that you should reveal your secrets, but do you do any color manipulation of the images?
My favorite is the Lee photo and, of course, those epic distance shots you do so well, i.e., the first photo.

Hi everyone. Thanks for the positive response. I shoot with a digital EOS 10-D and used a 16-35 wide angle and an 80-200 zoom for these games. I took about 350 pictures over the two days and have been going through the ones that have struck me, using Photoshop to bring them to a finished state.
I was very excited about the Maddux shot. He has a subtle delivery that doesn't translate to stills as well as say Clemens' big-bad-wolf, huff and puff and blow the batter out of the box delivery. I was very pleased to get this one as I think it contains something of the energy and pain that is Maddux when he’s throwing.
Pictures from 4/30 coming soon...
