The Riverdogs’ mascot was tossing free souvenir tee-shirts into the stands, and this five-year-old baseball fan, who happens to be my own grandson Jack, was hoping to catch one of them. Held firmly in his uncle’s grasp, he throws his arms skyward as I made this photograph from a low vantage point. I link his pleading fingers to the diagonal flow of the grandstand roof above him. Jack is already a student of the game – he lives in Brooklyn, and passionately follows the Yankees. The blue shirt he wears bears the name of the famed Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter. Unfortunately, no Riverdogs tee-shirt would come his way this evening.
