Title
Baseball on Wakefield Common
Description
Original image of Wakefield Common from a 1921 postcard mashed up with photo by Annette Dupon, 2011.
"As I looked at the old photo, my eye was drawn to the young boy hitting a ball in the foreground. I thought of how much recreational sports have changed. Now, there is so much brand-named gear, training sessions and field times to coordinate that it has become slightly"professional-ized"
