Dodgers’ Matt Kemp Walk-off Home Run

Los Angeles Dodgers' Matt Kemp is congratulated by teammates at home plate after he hit a walk-off home run against the Arizona Diamondbacks during the 10th inning of their Major League Baseball game, Tuesday, June 1, 2010 in Los Angeles. Los Angeles won, 1-0.

I just wanted to share a fun celebration shot at a recent Dodgers game, in which Matt Kemp hit a walk-off home run in extra innings. It’s not every day that you see the headlock technique, as shown here by Andre Ethier.

Not a week before this game, did the Angels’ Kendry Morales break his leg in a similar walk-off celebration. You can sense a bit of cautiousness by the team as Kemp made it to the plate, which was kind of funny.

Luckily for me, I shot two frames off before Dodger Stadium security walked right in front of the photographers in the first base photo well, making for some pissed off photographers.

Check out my photo in the LA Times.
