I made this picture the other day just before having to leave for something else. I wasn't sure what happened or even what I was looking at, but I was intrigued and made this photo. On social media I asked the question why were people laughing when it was an obvious injury. I mean the player was carried off the field.
So I asked.
Apparently a hard liner came back and took the legs out from under Franklin pitcher Trinity Edge while I had my lens focussed elsewhere. Folks rushed the field including Franklin's Athletic director/trainer Becky Barnes. As they circled the fallen pitcher I took note that things seemed jovial. So I expected Edge to pop back up and continue pitching. I was surprised a few minutes later when she was carried off the field.
So when I looked at this picture later and saw that I was right, folks were laughing... I had to ask what was going on at that moment. Trinity's mom, Tiffany, replied to my inquiry. "All she was concerned about was her legs needed shaved!" she said.
I love my job!
Her mom said she is OK. Barnes asked why she didn't catch the ball.
