32. Baseball lit by wildfires (part 1)

The Houston Astros take batting practice before their game against the Oakland Athletics at RingCentral Coliseum on Sep. 9, 2020, in Oakland, California.

This is another image that sums up the MLB season, along with the intense wildfire season in the Bay Area. When I woke up that morning, the sky was bright red from the surrounding wildfires in the area. The color in the sky didn’t let up all day, and I arrived in Oakland for the Athletics game right when I was allowed into the stadium. I rushed in to get a few frames of the players taking batting practice with this crazy orange sky. I was able to get a few frames with the cardboard cutouts in the foreground that show the mix of the pandemic and wildfire season all in one picture. By the time the game started, the color had turned to a darker shade of brown.
