Getty ImagesIn order to explain how I figured this one out, I’ll give you a little peek under the hood. When I find a photo on Getty Images, it comes with “background” that doesn’t appear as part of the caption or anything published, unless I want to add it. Here’s the “background” that came with this photo:
NEW YORK - CIRCA 1968: Jimmy McMath #24 of the Chicago Cubs is safe at first base beating the throw to Ed Kranepool #7 of the New York Mets during an Major League Baseball game circa 1968 at Shea Stadium in the Queens borough of New York City. Kranepool played for the Mets from 1962-79. (Photo by Focus on Sport/Getty Images)
