What I was trying to point out in my post, where I put the obviously different photos next to each other, was that the most likely scenario was Shuba (or whomever it is) was just lying there on the ground and Pee Wee Reese kept jumping up as the photog snapped away, perhaps never actually throwing the ball.

Due to the lack of body twisting and strain in the card photo, it doesn't seem likely the separate pictures came from the continuation of the same 'play.' It doesn't rule it out, of course, but I think Reese probably just kept landing and jumping, and that's why 'Shuba's' prone body has slight differences in his leg positions, etc. He probably got tired from having to lay in the dirt like a dog! At least he was saved from being covered in a cloud of dust, since he never had to actually slide into the base.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
