A condensed baseball game

Now I consider myself a fan of baseball, but I'm all for anyway that shortens the action to a 3 minutes and 24 seconds. That's what photographer Robert Caplin did with this time-lapse of the Yankees beating the Phillies in last year's World Series.

I love how this time-lapse reminded me how there's so much to a baseball game that happens away from the diamond. From the turnstiles to the hotdogs, all of this goes into a true baseball experience.

What's weird to me is how it's not necessary that this be the series-clinching game of the World Series. After going back and watching it again, I noticed that there was less than 10 seconds of celebration on the field, which is what would set this game apart from the others.

Overall though, I thought the shots leading into the ballpark were my favorite. It definitely conveyed the feel of just how many people attended that game.
