For those that sill aren't sure if the photo is Joe, do you doubt that these two photos were taken during the same play on the same day?
Don't worry I won't call you an idiot if you disagree with me.  |
It seems highly likely, almost certain, that it is the same. I still am somewhat surprised Joe's arm could have moved that much in the microinstant between the two photos, but the chances that there was another play at third base with so many similarities seems remote.
