MARCANO FALL BALL PHOTOS

182 new shots from Catonsville!
Jose Marcano fall-ball photos capture
the high spirits of the 2017 Wolverines!

Nice pictures!

As he always does, Jose Marcano has contributed fall-softball photos of the Wesley Wolverines in action at their triple-header last Saturday, September 24, in Catonsville, MD. Click here to view 182 of his shots.

Jose is the father of Wesley Wolverine senior #18 C Nina Marcano (Middletown, DE).

Jose is entering his fourth season snapping digital shots of the Wolverine games. He has experienced many challenging days while photographically chronicling the Wesley squad.

Through the years, Jose and his camera, like the team, has labored under extreme heat and bright sunlight, worked through bitter cold and overcast skies as well as endured on/off stormy weather and, too often, biting wind.

However, last Saturday posed a new, huge challenge for picture taking. Even with perfect weather, the sharp slopes and awkwardly positioned stands surrounding the unusual CCBC field -- uniquely cut into the side of a hill -- made photography extremely difficult.

For our Wolverine players, it must have been a beautiful sight on a field surrounded by a gorgeous sylvan setting. However, capturing the day's action on a memory card was entirely a different matter, requiring bending over fences, squatting on the ground and standing wearily on heights to get the right shots.

Take a look at Jose's great photographs. You'll see he more than rose to the occasion!
