Although I initially indicated that "no explanation is needed", here is the explanation:

The original photo (see below) was taken from the 1947 All-Star game. Ted was sliding into second base, which was being covered by St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Marty Marion. Marion wasn't under contract with Fleer in 1959, so he was air-brushed out.
Hence, the "quicksand that butts right up against a chemical tailings pond."

The tailings pond makes sense now...that's just Marty Marion melted down.
