The World Series can be quite a spectacle at times, and a single photo often can’t do justice to everything that’s going in the game.

So will 360 hi-res photos compiled into a mammoth panorama do? Yes, please.

Photographer David Bergman shot these nearly 400 images

over a 19-minute span during the third inning of Game 4 of the World Series Sunday night in Arlington, Texas. Through the help of GigaPan, Bergman then combined those individual shots into a single image that measures 83,287 pixels across and 19,158 pixels from top to bottom. In all, that measures up to a whopping 1,596 megapixels in total resolution, or about 200 times larger than the output of today’s typical digicams.

A zoomed-in look at Freddy Sanchez's third-inning at-bat against Rangers pitcher Tommy Hunter in Game 4 of the World Series.

And with the San Francisco Giants on the verge of wrapping up its first World Series title since 1954, Bergman may not get the chance to work his GigaPan magic again at scenic AT&T Park — and possibly capture the sight of tens of thousands of rabid orange- and black-wearing fans going mad in the throes of victory. if Cliff Lee tonight will change all that.
