Or in this case the bat. During the recent game four of the ALCS baseball playoffs, a rather pricey HD sports camera nearly met the junk heap when a broken bat seamed to pierce the golden lens in the 4th inning.
Lucky for TBS, the camera comes with a protective plastic lens cover which is all that was broken. Saving the network from having to replace a camera that costs as much as some houses.
Even bigger props to camera man Steve Angel for not letting flying lumber stop him from doing his job. He still caught A-rod scoring on the play. Now that is courage under fire. I would have crapped in my jeans if I saw a bat flying at me in hi-def.
