I see what you're saying and you're probably right. But, even then, the strip should be brownish (looks like dirt to me) and not blue. In any case, when I retouched the photo for the final time, I made it grass green and it looks fine (great even), even if its inaccurate.

Merkle: this is a continuation of our discussion of the Foss image. When I initially worked to eliminate the discoloration in the image, there's a strip of bluish grey about waist high that I thought looked like it should have been grass, with the caveat that I don't know Wrigley. So custard has provided an image demonstrating that that strip (the one around the plate, btw) is not grass as I thought, but instead its what appears to me to be a dirt cut-out. In this case, we may both be right in that the strip is not grass, but it still looks to me like part of the image's discoloration problem.
