This action-packed photograph depicts Linda McConkey, a player for the Georgia-based Lorelai Ladies softball team as she attempts to slide into third base. Also visible are the mid-air legs of Jerrie Rainey, playing third base for the Atlanta Tomboys, as she leaps to catch the ball and tag out her opponent. The title of the photograph draws attention to the fact that the subject of the picture is two women playing roughly and aggressively in a sport traditionally thought of as masculine.
