WHY I CHOSE THIS PHOTO: Perhaps only my fellow baseball fanatics will understand why I like this photo...In addition to it being a nicely lit portrait of these players and coaches, I think it is a great representation of all the little "behind the scenes things" that make the game, plus a great representation of all that is minor-pro, or in this case, summer collegiate baseball...players and coaches needing to sit on buckets and folding chairs because the dugouts are too small, bats and gear strewn about, line-up cards and other info posted in the dugout, a player-coach (far left) giving signals, another coach (second from left) charting pitches, another (third from left) with a pitch counter in his hand and the head coach (centre, in helmet) with a stopwatch to time pitch deliveries.
