Riverdog fans, Riley Park, Charleston, South Carolina, 2013

Baseball has been part of the fabric of Charleston life for more than 125 years. The city has supported minor league franchises since the Charleston Seagulls were established in 1886. The Seagulls played here until the 1920. Nine name changes followed until 1994, when the Riverdogs arrived. The team’s fans reflect the diversity and flavor of the city itself. They root respectfully, even in defeat. I shot this pair of fans from behind. The man’s head is shaved, while the woman’s hair-do makes up for what he is missing. He wears colorful local t-shirt, featuring two of the primary colors, blue and red. The blue color is repeated in the shirt of the videographer at right, as well as on the outfield wall. A member of the visiting team has just hit a home run, and is rounding third base in the background. The two Riverdog fans watch in utter silence.
