16. The roar of victory
Mookie Betts of the Los Angeles Dodgers celebrates as he rounds the bases after hitting a solo home run against the Tampa Bay Rays during the eighth inning in Game 6 of the 2020 MLB World Series at Globe Life Field on Oct.27, 2020, in Arlington, Texas.
As I followed Mookie Betts of the Los Angeles Dodgers all the way down the first baseline after hitting an unbelievable home run, he hadn’t reacted as soon as I expected he would. Right as he approached first base to make the turn to second base, he absolutely exploded with emotion! I immediately knew through the viewfinder that it was a big moment that we had all been waiting for the entire World Series. This was a pivotal time in the game with the Dodgers now up by two runs, and I couldn’t believe I captured this iconic moment that helped seal the title.
