here is my take the wall behind him looks like an outfield wall full of fans, not a wall or dugout behind the plate, from that angle it looks like he is actually in front of the plate and catcher toward the mound as if walking toward first but called back on a strike call. the umpire in the background looks out of position if he was in clemente was in the box, he appears close to the action and where the 3rd baseman would be.
I also think the dirt behind him is the mound and the ump is in position with a man on first.
so picture taken in disbelief of called strike on his way to first crossing the toward the first base bag.
just my thoughts but great question
