1956 Topps Elston Howard question
I was just looking at the 1956 Topps Elston Howard card and noticed that the other player on the card is a Detroit Tiger. Does anyone know who that is, or better yet have the original photo that they used for the card?

The angle is switched up but it's Billy Hoeft. Likely this game on August 6, 1955. Hoeft scored on a Harvey Kuenn double in the sixth.
edit..lemme try again Here's a link to the pic on Getty

That's a very interesting photo. Who is the Detroit Tiger with his hand in the
air and why is he so close to the plate almost screening the umpire? If Billy Hoeft, the runner, scored on a double, the batter should not be standing in the batters box should he?
