I like the Mickey Mouse shot and the fans in the stands. I know as a photojournalist your main job is to capture the action on the field, but I'm glad you got those slice of life shots as well.

Actually, photojournalists are tasked to get the whole story. The story is in the stands and at the consession booth as much as it is on the field.
The game shots run in the Sports section. The other shots run out front.
Essentially, these shots are more important than the game shots because they get prime real estate.
