Runscott: I agree with some of your points. However, in the inverse picture, the dust formation shows movement from left to right (granular to cloudy). Also, I don't think a hook slide would turn him around to face the plate still looking like he's stretching.

And spikes high? Don't get me started. Just like Conlon's famous picture of Cobb coming into Jimmy Austin (called "spikes high" by many), his (whoever he is) spikes were most definitely not "high," evidence by the fact the dirt is flying.

I'm not convinced it is Cobb. However, you've made a plausible explanation, which is harder than simply refuting (all that I've done).
