Blew my mind also.

Great info

Up until 2016, SGC didn't make a distinction on the Portrait variation. I specifically had them label it on the flip when I submitted my card 7 years ago.
So you will be unable to get a real estimate of the number of "Arrows vs "No Arrows" portraits from them.

Here's my set with both portrait variations.

Walked, base on balls?

Yeah, must be. Looks like he just hit a dinger but must be a walk.

Not sure about the meaning of "They Passed Him", but this card made it onto an 'Odd cards' thread a year or so ago, because it looks like the artist added a bat to a pitching follow through pose.

Here is my Home Run card, my only example from the set. It is likely in two pieces. But thanks to the miracle of a little tape on the backside, we don't have to imagine what it would look like whole.

The card is identified as a Home Run, but I like to think it would be officially scored as a double with a two base error.
