MORE PHOTOS FROM GAME 6
One of the more amazing aspects of doing Empty Netters is the willingness of readers to submit videos, photos, links, etc. to this forum. Basically, the readers are doing our job for us and giving us more time to hit up Hooters.
There's no better example of this than the photos EN shutterbug Lisa Bohm has given us since roughly February. Despite having some issues with some ushers over her equipment and less than stellar angles to shoot from sometimes, Lisa has routinely submitted work to us that rival professionals.
Here are Lisa's last batch of photos from Game 6:
