Nice. I like the fact that all the equipment in your shot appears to be well used.

I like the "old fashioned" feel that this photo gived through it's colours. A little extra added contrast wouldnt go amiss though :)

With so many different subjects, I need just one thing (a ball or a bat) to really grab my interest. Maybe by using a shallow depth of field and doing almost a macro on a ball or a bat to then draw me into the picture would have worked better.

Your photo is a little too cluttered and the lighting is not the best. You did a good job on your focus.

Just a little to much clutter for my liking. It became overkill.
If you kept one base 1 glove (the one one the left), the old bat ,and the Yankees cap you would have had a stronger composition.
Sometimes less is more
Lighting seems to have made everything bland so B&W might have been an option here.
However it does fit the theme
6 from me

My folks have a cat named DiMaggio. We got him the week Joe died. Nice title. Go Yankkes. :) On the technical side- this should would have benifitted from some stronger lighting. It's pretty dark, and even some minor tweaking in levels might give it more pop. I'd also use just one baseball in the image. When I was playing yardball growing up we only had 1 ball. :) A brighter better image would have this an 8. As is, 6.
