I found this photo at the following website:

Notes on Sports Photography:
  • the closer you are to the subject, the better
  • timing and reacting are very important
  • you must anticipate the action
  • noise/movement in the background means you need a new angle
  • most pictures should be taken vertically
  • should use the rule of thirds more often than not
  • baseball is the hardest sport to shoot
    • a lot of movement involved 
    • pitcher, catcher, coach = easiest to shoot
  • football is an easy sport to shoot
  • with motor sports, it's hard  to get good shots because you are generally far from the track
