Baseballs won't be the only thing flying through the air in Texas tonight as Fox Sports has integrated drones into its World Series coverage for the first time.

A camera was shattered and destroyed by a foul ball during a Little League World Series baseball game in Pennsylvania on Saturday.

A baseball game was stopped yesterday after a ball forcefully struck a cameraman in the face and he was taken to hospital.

The crack of a bat crushing a baseball is one of the quintessential sounds of summer. However, for sports photographers, the cracking sound of a big, expensive front lens element is becoming depressingly common.

A sports photographer whose $12,000 camera lens was shattered by a 104 MPH baseball will have his gear restored after an outpouring of support by the public and an act of generosity by Sony.

Over the weekend, Major League Baseball (MLB) tried out a new camera angle that caught the imagination of many viewers who compared it to a video game.

A photographer at a baseball game had his Sony 400mm f/2.8 lens valued at $12,000 destroyed after a foul ball smashed into the glass.

A bat used by Babe Ruth has been sold for $1.85 million, setting the record for the most ever obtained for a baseball bat. The price was reached thanks mainly to "photographic corroboration" that specifically tied the item to Ruth.

An original portrait of baseball legend Shoeless Joe Jackson that was taken around the time of the 1919 "Black Sox" World Series has emerged. One of the few pieces of memorabilia left from the 1919 season, the portrait is currently valued at $17,000.

Nick Wosika, a self-described photo addict with a sports problem, is living his dream life: shooting hockey and baseball sports cards and collecting them too.

T-Mobile has announced that it will equip players at Major League Baseball's (MLB) 2021 Home Run Derby in Denver with point-of-view (POV) cameras on their helmets and allow viewers to witness the game as if they were on the field.

Major League Baseball player Tyler O'Neill hit a foul ball off at just the right angle to send it flying into the lens of the backstop camera. The damage caused a slight delay in play as the grounds crew dealt with the bits of shattered glass.

The Boston Red Sox professional baseball team has partnered with Nikon to have automatic robot cameras installed across its iconic Fenway Park.

Professional sports leagues such as the NBA and MLB have returned to action without fans in attendance due to COVID-19 pandemic safety measures, and there are still sports photographers on hand to document the games. Boston-based photographer Paul Rutherford made this 4-minute video showing what it's like to shoot a pro baseball game in an empty stadium.

The New York Mets have come up with a touching way to honor the late New York Post sports photographer Anthony Causi, who passed away in April at age 48 from COVID-19. The baseball team placed a cardboard cutout of Causi in the photo pit at Citi Field.

The past few hours of digging up and scanning my old files of MLB baseball star Darren Daulton have only made the pit in my stomach tighter. Sometimes looking through old pictures after someone’s passing is cathartic, but not now.

Photographer Rob Snow and Red Bull have just released a new red hot series of photos that involved gasoline, baseballs, a blowtorch, and World Series hero Kris Bryant.

This is exactly why DJI is forcing users to "activate" their drones, or suffer the consequences. At a recent baseball game between the San Diego Padres and the Arizona Diamondbacks, an illegal drone slammed into the stands, only just missing a few faultless fans.

In April of 2015 with the approval of the Birmingham Barons of the Southern League, I began a photo project by following the team through the season from beginning to end.

The popularity of camera drones has been exploding in recent years, but so have drone-related injuries -- spinning propeller blades can do serious damage if they come in contact with human flesh. Case in point: a starting baseball pitcher had to exit the biggest game of his baseball career yesterday after his finger started bleeding profusely from a drone-related injury.

This might be the most exciting auction of baseball photographs ever; there's no other way to put it. The entire archive of photographer Charles M. Conlon, his life's work photographing America's pastime, is being auctioned off this weekend and the collection is expected to fetch over $1,000,000.

Major League Baseball and Snapchat are partnering up to give fans an inside look at what baseball is like behind the scenes. And there's a bat-shaped selfie stick involved, called the SnapBat.

Charles M. Conlon was an early 20th century American photographer who was among the first to regularly photograph baseball games and players. Although he shot many iconic early photos of the sport, his name was largely unknown until 1990, when 8,000+ of his negatives were found in the archives of Sporting News.

Many of the photos were heavily marked, and the Digital Archive Project at the National Baseball Hall of Fame has been working to restore those images for future generations.

During the MLB baseball game yesterday between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Colorado Rockies, a cameraman spotted a group of sorority girls who were apparently more interested in snapping the perfect selfie than watching the game. The announcers for the TV broadcast took notice, and the whole thing turned into a strange case study of what Instagram has done to our culture.

Sports Shooter Academy recently released this 3-minute behind-the-scenes video in which Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim director of photography Matt Brown talks about how he uses remote camera setups to cover baseball games.
