Quite a bit of cropping here... some color and level adjustments... resize, then sharpen... thats it...
Enjoy :-)

Not sure how the pic illustrates the headline -- what's the ray of hope? But...the picture is very good, and what makes it great is the ball stopped in mid-flight in the upper left. Good focus, DOF, etc. I just don't quite see the connection of this particular headline with this particular picture. 7
Great action shot! Very nicely done. (too bad you can't see the baseman's face. but oh well) Pretty good headline also. Very good job on this challenge.
