I like your idea here, but I think some editing work needs to be done to give this photo the focus to match the title. I copied the photo and put it in Photoshop and rotated it until the horizon was level and cropped out the lights in the background and as much of the people in the foreground as possible, and i I think the symmetry shows much better. Try it -- or let me know by e-mail and I'll send you what I did very quickly to balance the picture so that it doesn't have quite the same "snapshot" quality to it.
Might have moved over a few feet and lined the pitcher and catcher up with the center pole. The tilt to the right is distracting. Overall a great shot though.

Could you have gotten the pole in the middle aligned with the catcher and the pitcher? There is more picture on the left than the right. Is this Tides Stadium in Norfolk?
