But nobody seemed to expound on or acknowledge the importance of the base being the same in both photos. To me, this is the most important factor, as it is the only easily identifiable subject in the photo that's static.
If indeed nobody else was thrown out at third in this particular contest, the case would appear to be closed.

is it for certain that teams used different bases or clean ones then before each and every game. I remember reading that teams used the same bags until they wore out. the practice of using new bases each game was a modern concept. Otherwise that dark mark on the bag is quite interesting if its not a shadow or something of that nature.
