This photo is of a double play to end the 5th inning in Shea Stadium with the Dodger’s John Tudor pitching to the Met’s Mookie Wilson who was out on a swinging 3rd strike. This photo catches Dwight Gooden’s attempt to steal second and being thrown out to end the inning.
What does this photo say about Jamie? It seems clear that, on this day at least, his camera was at his fingertips and he snapped what he saw as an important moment from that game. We can’t know whether he took only this one photo on that day, or took many and selected this one. We can’t know if he caught this shot at the time it happened, on a replay, or maybe later on the news. Whatever the facts, it’s an interesting moment from on of Jamie’s days.

I joined the world on this day
The Mets beat the Dodgers at Shea Stadium with Dwight Goodin pitching 8 innings on this day, my 30th birthday. I was living in the Chicago area
