White Sox Panorama (from infield seats)

I've always liked panoramic photos. Don't know anyone who doesn't. The problem is that it's a bitch to take them. You either have to have a special camera, special film, special lens, whatever--and it always adds up to a ton of money.
There's Autostich for Windows. I've used it. It's really fast. But it's really hard to change anything if the result isn't exactly what you want.
I've found that Autopano-SIFT, Hugin, and Enblend--though kind of cryptic at the beginning--offer a lot more control over how the final product will look. Lastly, I just loaded the image into The GIMP and resized it to about 4:3.
I think it feels a bit more real than a regular panorama, especially for far away shots with lots going on, like a baseball game.

Standard panorama linked below. I'm not gonna put up the high-res versions, though.
