You'd think a baseball fanatic like Julius Schwartz would insist Infantino get the details on those covers right. Then again: SCHWARTZ: Carmine, the field layout is all wrong, and nobody slides into a base like that! INFANTINO: It's a f'in' gorilla playin' f'in' baseball and yer worried about f'in' realism??IRWIN DONENFELD: Okay the damn cover, Julie, and worry about that crap on your own time. We got sausages, I mean comic books to grind out! Cei-U! I summon the idle speculation! I didn't realize Julie loved him some baseball. Your story makes profoundest sense. I summon the dollar sign. |

Baseball was one of Julie's true loves along with Dixieland jazz, science fiction, and sexually harassing the office staff.
Cei-U!
I summon the rennaissance man!

Grammar and syntax apparently weren't, though. I couldn't get through any two pages of "Man of Two Worlds" or whatever his book was called w/o being hamstrung by long stretches of unedited crapola. Most disappointing from old B.O. |

Another baseball cover. Batter's back foot is outside the batter's box. He may be the lead-off hitter; the back line is usually rubbed out soon after. The ump could call him out.  Also, that's a TINY bat, and why is the home plate area grey? Is it clay? pavement? |

More proof that Carmine did not really know (or care about) his baseball. |

The weird thing is the bat the on deck hitter has looks pretty normal.. so I guess it was just carelessness.
The other thing I noticed on the gorilla one.. the baseman (not sure exactly what base that might be) is wearing a turn of the century glove.
