My guess is the guy in the background was throwing/warming up, and his image was blurry. Someone in the production of this Ruth insert decided to eliminate the blur by drawing in the part of his uniform that was 'in-motion'. Quite creepy...they should have left that player's image blurry.

Agreed. Looks a little like Dutch Ruether.

As we know, it was not uncommon for pitchers to warmup in front of the dugout, and he may have been doing that when Ruth was asked to mug for the camera (note he is nowhere near the ondeck circle). Obviously the pitcher was not about to unload one into the back of the Babe's head, but it is not illogical to think that he was going through (threw) the motions. Still, as noted, his legs look kittywampus.

Knocked a big one off the DS list...I am hoping to finish it up by the spring assuming the high numbers come up. Very pleased with the grade. Have stopped kicking myself for all the time is passed on in for $100 or $200.
