I've been baffled by the Darrell Evans card since I was a kid. He's jumping up like he's trying to snare a line drive, but he's looking up like he's waiting for a pop up.

Exactly! If it's above his head you think he would be fully extended in an attempt to snag it. If the ball is still in the infield you would this his head would be more forward. Maybe it's that instance where the ball is way over his head but he's making a leap as a reflex, but know he has no chance? Bizarre use of an action photo either way.

I'm relieved to know that I'm not the only one who has put some thought into this card lol
