Going to the Game need help

[Perm]

OK going to the game tonight I just purchased my camera so I defiantly a beginner. It will be a baseball game (RED SOX) I will be very close to the field 1st base line I have a D50 w/ 18-55 lens and help or setting that I can try to get some good pix would be welcomed.

With any lens, you need high shutter speeds, especially for baseball. Depending on the light, ISO will vary. I can't say you'll get the best photos with your lens. You need something like 300mm to get good pics.

I see the need for bigger lens when taking pix at sporting events, I also still trying to figure the camera out. My only saving grace was that we had great seats

Those are some great seats. The pics are good, but they could use a longer lens,
