Default Inconsistencies

Definite Inconsistencies, assuming the players on the cards are the same as the person noted by name:
  • Sisler is throwing with his right hand
  • Doyle has his glove on his right hand
  • Schang has his mitt on his right hand
  • Konetchy is batting LH
  • *At first, I thought Ruth was in follow-through, but it is apparent IMO that he is awaiting pitch as a right hand hitter. In all batting poses the hands are on the bat with conventional grips. Therefore, Ruth's other hand should be in view. In fact, his stance and hand position on the bat matches that of Bancroft.



Interesting stuff:
  • The only player posing as a base runner is Cobb
  • The only player not posing as hitting, throwing, or base running is Baker. He is neutral, just standing there.
  • Carl Mays is pitching, in fact, he's in the middle of a wind up and looking toward second as if he is checking a runner.
  • Milan looks like he is up to something, as if he is concealing a spitball or something
  • It seems all the pitchers in the set were at the very least decent hitters. Johnson and Mays could hit well, bagby hit well in the '20 world series, and cadore had decent hitting stats in '20, was also in the world series.

Cadore is the only pitcher posing with a bat, and IMO he is not depicted on the card; Joe Judge is. And if Judge is on cadore's card, he is holding the bat as a RH hitter when he should be holding the bat as a lefty.
