To the uploader: this tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use. You must also include the source of the work, all available copyright information, and a detailed non-free use rationale.

[edit] I claim fair use on these grounds...

The image linked here is claimed to be used under fair use as:

it is a historically significant photo of a famous structure, the L.A. Coliseum, which was the home of a famous baseball team, the Dodgers, for only 4 seasons;
it is of much lower resolution than the original (copies and blowups made from it will be of very inferior quality);
the photo is only being used for informational purposes; the article on the L. A. Coliseum discusses the unique baseball layout, and this photo helps to illustrate that discussion;
a free alternative is unlikely to be found as the Coliseum has not been used for baseball since 1961. [2]

I just wanted add that this photo is also historically unique. There will unlikely ever be another baseball game at the Coliseum, let alone by the Dodgers. --Bobak 19:23, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
