| Commentary: | This image was slightly cropped by the publisher, then used as a double spread with the veteran player on the left page and the eager relief pitcher on the right. The inscription is not visible in the publication, but on photographs before and after it was conserved in 2001, the inscription is ‘Schoonover’ with an indistinct date, thought to be ’11, the year it was painted. Without further research, the correlation between the number and the word ‘vignette’ found en verso, is unclear.
