Awkward

Talk about awkward. Who is underneath?

  1. Based on the pants stripe and stirrup I'd guess a Red Sox player...

  3. Scott Fletcher, the second baseman for the Red Sox, is underneath.
    Seeing as it is a 1993 card, I checked the game logs from 1992 but came up empty for all Rangers and Red Sox contests. Thinking it might have been older photo I checked the '91 logs next, but that didn't yield a play at the plate involving Brown either.
    So, I went to the 1993 logs and looked at the early Rangers and Red Sox contests. On May 30th, in the bottom of the 5th inning, Kevin Brown was facing Andre Dawson with Fletcher on 3rd. Ivan Rodriguez, the defensive stalwart, was credited a passed ball which allowed Fletcher to score.
    I'm not 100% certain this is the play, but I'm pretty confident. Thanks for the puzzle!
