Chris Waugaman began covering professional sports at the Diamond in Richmond, VA, at a Richmond Flying Squirrels game. From there he started attending MLB, MLS, NBA, PGA and NASCAR events whenever he had the opportunity. He has taken many photos of professional athletes on the field. Below are a few of the many images from his Canon R3 and R1 cameras. More images can be found on his Flickr site https://tinyurl.com/waugtography .
On September 28, 2023, the Red Sox played their final series of the 2023 season at Camden Yards. It was a special night for the Orioles as they won the AL East Division with their 2-0 win. It was also their 100th win of the season.
On March 29, 2024 Nascar Weekend took place at Richmond Raceway. In a rain-soaked Saturday night race Denny Hamlin took home the win on the final lap.
On Sunday, April 7, 2024, Sporting KC played Portland Timbers of the MLS in Kansas City. Here are images from that 3-3 draw.
On Saturday, Feb. 8 the Washington Wizards hosted the Atlanta Hawks for an NBA match-up in Washington, D.C. at the Capital One Arena. The Hawks won 125-111.
On Wednesday, April 10, I attended the Masters Tournament in Augusta, GA. During the practice round I was able to photograph several top 10 PGA golfers and some from the LIV circuit. On Sunday during the last round Rory McIlroy won the tournament to complete his career Grand Slam – making him one of only six golfers to do that in the history of the PGA. Justin Rose and Rory went to a sudden death playoff to finish the tournament.
