Gear is immaterial!!
Get right up next to the fence, center of the lens at the center of one of the "diamonds" in the fence links. A point & shoot or other small camera will have the lens completely within the 'diamond' and larger lenses will have the majority of the image area within the diamond with very slight vignette depending on the DOF.

Folks, this advice is meaningless with a point and shoot or cheap camera phone.
We need to know the gear...
Don't know about the camera phone but I have used my point and shoot Kodax Z650 camera as suggested at great grandsons' little league games and obtained good photographs without the fence showing up.

Pretty much what everybody has said - get your camera right next to the fence. My 70-200 has a focus limiting switch that will ignore everything for the 1st 6 meters which helps.

I have asked the little league to provide small openings in these fences for photographs.. this would benefit the kids and the leagues with the added publicity they would obtain Every body likes to see their athletes in action.

Put the CENTER of the lens pointing through the CENTER of the 'diamond' in the fence and the CENTER of the image will be clear with minor vignetting along the corners......... The smaller the diameter of the front element, the less noticeable the vignette.....

kfoo, I tried a couple times to post a pic but not gonna work from my phone.
Yes,.equipkent matters, especially the lens. The venue matters as well. A tiny LL field is way easier than a Big League stadium! Good luck. ;-)

Micro Four Thirds has a large sensor and can still fit through fences. Watch out for foul balls though - they can turn your lens into a pancake lens.

You DO know that getting that close to the fence at a baseball game is not only unsafe, but extremely rude and inconsiderate of the other people trying to watch the game.
So yeah; gear is important. We need to know so we can give not just intelligent, but CORRECT advice. ;)
