Hand held camera in natural light just after a rain storm. I cropped to remove extraneous background. This is my first submission so please be gentle with me. Comments are welcome.

great title!!! I love your ideas here. Photographically, I'm wondering if the shot may be a little washed out, but maybe on purpose? Regardless...nice work
This pic has a nice feel to it--almost nostagic. You've made an interesting composition from these items--love the worn out / well-used quality of the subjects. Good luck with the challenge!
This needs to be a little brighter and have a little more saturation to really make an impact. If could also use a little sharper focus to get detail on bat, gloves, and hat.
Very nice idea and complex arrangements, or were they just thrown there? :P I like the fact that everything is dirty, it tells a story and sets a mood that way. I think this could have benefited from a slight increase in saturation to bring out the colors more. I think it would look really great in sepia with all that dirtyness in there, it would have a much more stronger mood that way. Great photo otherwise...
With so many different subjects, I need just one thing (a ball or a bat) to really grab my interest. Maybe by using a shallow depth of field and doing almost a macro on a ball or a bat to then draw me into the picture would have worked better.
Just a little to much clutter for my liking. It became overkill.
If you kept one base 1 glove (the one one the left), the old bat ,and the Yankees cap you would have had a stronger composition.
Sometimes less is more
Lighting seems to have made everything bland so B&W might have been an option here.
However it does fit the theme
6 from me
My folks have a cat named DiMaggio. We got him the week Joe died. Nice title. Go Yankkes. :) On the technical side- this should would have benifitted from some stronger lighting. It's pretty dark, and even some minor tweaking in levels might give it more pop. I'd also use just one baseball in the image. When I was playing yardball growing up we only had 1 ball. :) A brighter better image would have this an 8. As is, 6.
