“There’s a mural on the ceiling of the Great Hall in the Library of Congress that very nearly blends in with the many others found in the room.

I know I always like to play naked baseball in the library! Haha, this was a good start to my morning.
Awesome! Haha- I didn't know that baseball was an ancient sport :-)
Naked baseball -- finally, something to make the sport interesting. ;p
Thanks for the laugh! This is hysterical! :D
I would definitely start watching more baseball if the guys were playing nude. Wait--no, no I wouldn't. All that flopping around would not be attractive.
I personally thinks it's beautiful
I'm with Lisa. At least the guys on the wall look good naked. Real baseball players: Oh my eyes!
