Oct 22, 2012		     ambaker - I wanted to title it something using the word "clear", but couldn't come up with anything.Maybe "A clear day for baseball" - Yuck!

Thanks for the compliments and comments. I took several shots with various backgrounds and decided to use the simplest one.

Oct 19, 2012		     I was about to say that I wish there was more than a blank blue sky... But then it struck me, what is the perfect weather for baseball? Why, a beautiful cloudless summer day, of course. Nice crisp detail in this image. I do get the feeling, from this image, that you are honoring the subject. Nice work!
