•  Support Is this restored or is it just an impressively pristine photo? If a restoration, there's a tiny bit of damage in the lower left that could be fixed, but it's a very minor thing. Either way, it's excellent. Adam Cuerden (talk) 06:08, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

 Info Unrestored, it just comes from a very high quality glass plate negative. I agree it is amazingly pristine for an image taken 103 years ago. Scewing (talk) 15:02, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

•  Support Great picture of a needlessly disgraced baseball legend. But ... I think it would look even better cropped to more of a vertical, à la a baseball card. The sides do not add anything to the image and, as Adam noted, they have some technical difficulties best not included in the image. Further, the baseball-card crop would draw even more attention to that haunting stare. Daniel Case (talk) 20:53, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
  • I like the composition. It gives it a feel of a baseball stadium. I think, in general, we should usually promote an uncropped version, then take crops from it for other uses, unless the area cropped causes composition issues (e.g. in this Strayhorn image the legs excessively dominated the scene due to the camera being fairly near him; a crop fixes this issue, and we have the uncropped whenever we want it. We might also crop wasted space, e.g. if there's a blank wall either side, or crop a dozen or so pixels to square off an image and keep the border from intruding, say. But where, as here, it's a matter of both being good, go with the less cropped. Adam Cuerden (talk) 05:53, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
