Default 1919 cover photo - who is it? Hal Chase?

Posted By: Frank Wakefield

What about the possibility that it is Chase, and whoever produced that overlaid another photo of a baserunner... put on there not to be realistic, but to balance the image?

The fielder's image looks sharper than the base runner's, to me. When I first looked at it, I perceived that that runner was closer to the 'camera' than the fielder, there would be no collision. But the runner has his hand out. And their shoes are about the same size. The fielder's head looks bigger.

I think the images of the 2 players are from different photos. And that the composite was put together to balance the image, with no concern about the images being realistically positioned.
