Can't see his face and somehow someone at Topps decided a photo in which HIS GLOVE ISN'T EVEN ON qualified as an "action" shot.
Lots of the "In Action" cards will leave you scratching your head. Pete Rose is at bat in-between pitches idly chatting with the catcher on his, Ron Santo is mostly obscured by the opposing catcher, and Harmon Killebrew has just popped out. Action!!!
