One of the best things I’ve been fortunate enough to both witness and capture was Sean Manaea’s No Hitter on April 21. He mowed down the Boston Red Sox for nine incredible innings. He had the full support of the Oakland crowd, as well as his teammates.
It was amazing to watch how genuinely happy Sean’s teammates were for him. An incredible human, Sean didn’t even fully comprehend how big this was. We kept prefacing everything we told him for weeks after with “now that you’re famous,”. I loved capturing the emotion from Sean and the rest of the guys in the immediate aftermath, and I hope he knows how great it was for everyone else that was lucky enough to be there.
