My favorite is #3 but I like all of them!

Maybe you could mix it up or designate different pictures for each level they reach like having players in the majors in front of a bigger stadium? either way looks great.

I have tried a few variations with varying opacity:

Test Image - No Opaque

I vote against no opaque. I like the other two considerably more.

I agree with Mike. +1 to Opaque.

I prefer the first one - no opaque - it looks a bit smoother to me.

 I don’t care for the last one, it makes it look like the stadium is in a fog. I really like the crispness of the first one, but also like the slightly subdued (by which I mean not-completely-Casey-overwhelming) colors of the second. I’d probably go for the middle one if I had to pick between those two.

  Seeing them all lined up like that really makes a difference; I’d probably have voted for #1 if I hadn’t had #2 to compare it against.

#2 is best. Mid-tones don't overwhelm the foreground character. #3 it too blurry, it starts to look messy at that level.

It might have been better to keep the uniform the same for comparison purposes...

Agree...the last one looks more like fog in the background.

I guess the question is, does adding a little bit of opaqueness (maybe something like the middle one) blend well enough with the clip art image so it doesn't look out of place??

The no opaque one generally looks like the clip-art is superimposed onto the background. I guess #3 does look like a fog a little, but honestly I would prefer the current plain white background to #1. It just looks silly to me, and not in the good way. #2 helps to make it seem less like a clip-art figure plopped on a background.
