 I actually had to dig home plate out from under a few inches of snow. Took a lot of different shots and about froze to death!

Only a fanatic baseball lover (like our family) could fully appreciate a photo like this. Especially reading about your having to dig home plate out of the snow. There's something so heartwarming (or is it heart aching) about the longing for baseball season that makes this photo very special. I think the 4.48 score is grossly underrated!

nice photo, I liked it during voting, I agree with epudewell that it could use more contrast but basically your time in the cold and snow was well used.

I wish the glove and home plate wasn't cut off.

I like the idea, but I think the range in contrast could have been better emphasized! ...Lets play ball!!!
