That photo of WaJo with his shirt off was done to accompany a Baseball Magazine article on his speed in which they sent him to the Remington Arms factory to try to measure it on a machine designed to calculate the velocity of bullets, an epic fail on many counts. He wasn't trying to show off his physique, but it does make for a compelling picture and collectible premium.
