Spanswick three-step
Might as well add another.
The first step is just using color balance on the entire image and that only gets you so far.
The second part was using color balance and saturation on individual pieces. Purpose being, as much as anything, not to keep messing with the flesh tones as you try to get the rest in order. You pretty much want to drain all the color out of the uniform (other than your powder blues, where applicable).
The third one reflects selective colorization of a few pieces (notably the stands). The cap and sleeve were colorized in step 2 cuz it just worked out that way.
I could see the second one being preferable to the third, where I tried to get some yellow on the face and likely oversaturated (as I tend to do). But I highly recommend to others that you endeavor to lighten the whites of the eyes on these things. Regardless of your technique, there's no reason the player has to look like he just polished off a tray of pot brownies.
