Fair Use Rationale for Steve Olin edit

Although under copyright, I believe this is fair use because:

• It does not detract from the copyright to use this image on Wikipedia.
• It is of low resolution.
• It does not harm the copyright holder in any way to use this on Wikipedia.
• It shows Steve Olin, the subject of the article, and shows him in his Indians uniform, illustrating his significance as a famous baseball player.
• A free image most likely cannot be obtained, as Olin played baseball in the pre-internet era and is deceased.
