DescriptionA woman stands at the corner of a baseball diamond on the Big Lawn. She wears a boater hat and a neck tie, and holds a bat up in front of her with both hands. Behind her to the right is a ladder or stand with a sign attached to it. The sign is obscured but appears to read "22329". Further to the right is a bench, which is empty. Behind the stand and the bench is a row of large evergreen trees. To the left of the woman there is an overlay of another image, which shows the legs and torso of a man standing.
