Got my Canon 1D Mark IV in several weeks ago, but I've been so busy with the end of basketball season, the beginning of baseball season, and weddings that I just haven't gotten around to showing some examples on here like I wanted to. Add a couple of computer and website failures in, and it's a wonder I've accomplished anything at all....
So, without further ado, here are some sports examples from Southern Arkansas University. I'll try to get other examples up in the future....

Cool. Really cool.
Excellent photos! Exposure on all are spot on. No auto focus issues with the MkIV, I presume.
In the third basketball photo the camera appears to just below level with the rim. Did you go into the stands for that angle? What strobes do you use?
I don't get a chance to shot baseball. Your examples sure seem to be hitting peak action.
Congrats on the MkIV. As a hobbyist I probably will never reach that level of equipment. I thought I was doing well to upgrade to a used 1DMkII.
Looking forward to more examples.
That pitcher shot is unreal. To catch that shot without blur...Wow!
Congrats on the camera. Very jealous haha.
Keep shooting away.
I have been having trouble with baseball pics that I dont have to much of a problem wik Bkb of FB.
When focusing on a picture on the mound, or sometimes a batter in the box, my camers wants to focus on the background (fence/dugout) making the player out of focus???

Used your manual focus.
Gonna give the manual focus a try at my game tomorrow.
I have always used autofocus but always looking to try something new and improved.

Something to try is focus with your auto, then then your autofocus off, so your subject is in focus and it wont jump to the background if you move it just a little bit.
