Pledge of Allegiance is a C-print from Hudson Valley Renegades: Summer League Baseball, a portfolio of 25 photographs by Stephen Shore (b. 1947) made at Dutchess Stadium in 2001 and printed at Laumont Photographics by Kylie Wright under Shore's supervision. The image captures the pre-game ceremony — players and spectators with hands over hearts during the Pledge of Allegiance, a ritual of American civic life made visible at the edge of the playing field. Signed in pen on verso.
