Classic Baseball Card Pitcher Pose

You look back through enough old baseball cards and you notice the five to seven stock poses the photographers had their subjects strike. And some of these poses just aren't cool any longer. You don't see the pitcher with his arms framing his head these days. You also don't see a batter holding three to five bats at one time.

I used three different pitchers in assembling my subject. And I decided that a dusk in Arizona Spring Training would be the feeling I'd go for. Nothing too literal with the hint of a background, or the colors. Why be literal?
