Rockwell paints Ted Williams and Boston Red Sox baseball team members Sammy White, Frank Sullivan, Jackie Jensen, and Billy Goodman during spring training in Sarasota, Florida. Exaggerating the contrast between the rookie and his veteran teammates, Rockwell portrays the newcomer as gangly and awkward.

Instead, Rockwell substituted high-school-student Frank Sullivan's profile from one of the photos taken of him.
