Thanks, Bruce and JC.
We had seats high above home plate, behind the protective net. I did
walk down to take some images from the left and right sides of the
flied, unobstructed by the netting, but the angles down there made it
much more difficult to capture the ball coming off the bat than behind
the plate. See this, for example:

Did you try sticking the lens out THROUGH the net right in the back?
This was taken with an el-cheapo 80-200 stuck through the mesh of the
netting... (granted, the ball is still on the way towards the plate)

This angle lets you squish more elements into the photo, too (if that's what
you're into).

Perhaps holding the minority opinion here, but I kinda like the net in
Dan's shot. It's OOF enough to leave the players quite sharp and
contrasty, and it gives some context as being from a spectator's PoV. I
also like that it's a bit wavy and irregular. I find the image very
good from a kind of abstract standpoint (I'm not a big sports fan at all).
