Pardon the pun, but nice catch!
He basically took the people standing on the left side of the picture and placed them on the right side of the painting. Weird thing is, in the painting there is more of those people seen than what appears in the photograph (arms, etc.). It could be that the artist just extrapolated to fill out the image, but it makes me believe the original photo could be wider than the one shown.

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