Non-free / fair use media rationale for Nashville Sounds
Description	Photographs of Don Mattingly and Willie McGee during their time with the Nashville Sounds minor league baseball team.
Source	The 1981 Nashville Sounds baseball card team set
Article	Nashville Sounds
Portion used	The amount used does not make the work as a whole less valuable to the copyright holder.
Low resolution?	The logo is a size and resolution sufficient to maintain image quality and clarity, without being unnecessarily high resolution.
Purpose of use	Used to illustrate two signifigant players from the team during the early 1980s. They went on to the major leagues, and in 1985, were named (respectivly) the American League and National League MVPs. This made the Nashville Sounds the first team to have both MVPs play on the same team during the same season. The image adds significantly to the article by showing a major part of the franchise's affiliation with the New York Yankees.
Replaceable?	An attempt has been made to locate a free equivalent of the image of these two men during the same time period. As such an image can not be found, it is claimed under fair-use on the Wikipedia website for educational and noncommercial purposes.

This is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit.

The copyright for it is most likely owned by the company who created the promotional item or the artist who produced the item in question; you must provide evidence of such ownership. Lack of such evidence is grounds for deletion.

It is believed that the use of some images of promotional material to illustrate:

the person(s), product, event, or subject in question
where the image is unrepeatable, i.e. a free image could not be created to replace it
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other usage of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Publicity photos.

Additionally, the copyright holder may have granted permission for use in works such as Wikipedia. However, if they have, this permission likely does not fall under a free license.

Please note that our policy usually considers fair use images of living people that merely show what they look like to be replaceable by free-licensed images and unsuitable for the project. If this is not the case for this image, a rationale should be provided proving that the image provides information beyond simple identification or showing that this image is difficult to replace by a free-licensed equivalent. Commercial third-party reusers of this image should consider whether their use is in violation of the subject's publicity rights.
