Take me Out to the Ballgame

I photographed Joe Torre a couple of weeks ago for the newly redesigned Bloomberg Businessweek.  It was something that had come up at the last minute and we loaded up and headed to Dodger's Stadium where we'd have some time with Joe before their game against the Atlanta Braves.  We built our studio right on the field behind the batting practice cage, watched the Braves doing batting practice and waited for Joe to appear.  I had called a friend of mine who is a big baseball fan (and Dodger's season ticket holder) on the drive to the stadium and asked him to give me some background on Joe and the Dodgers this season so I had a few good questions ready for him.  Joe was great and after we'd wrapped up the shoot the crew and I grabbed Dodger dogs and  Budweisers in plastic cups and sat in some killer seats the team had given us behind home plate and watched the game as the California sun set over the stadium.  It was pretty sweet.  Thanks go out to David Carthas and Tania Pirozzi at the magazine for thinking of me and Luke Wahl for the background info on Joe and the team.
