The flag was placed in the shot purposely. To me, baseball is an American game and this was just showing that baseball and America go together. I guess nobody got it.

lol to those that said the flag is in the way. Love the placement and that it's a little OOF. Too bad the players weren't just a little more to the left so you could have caught some of the pitching action. Wonderful processing with the color.

This was one I did get to in voting, and I swear I thought I left a comment... apparently I did not, but had I done so I can assure you the commenter average would be much higher. I did indeed get the All American references and thought the sepia, grain, and even the brightness of it very well suited to the photo.

I like the idea and the sepia but a stronger contrast and a slight change of angle would have made it a more powerful image. And not being anti-American or anything the flag in the foreground distracts too much from the subject.

this would be pretty cool were the flag not obscuring half the shot
