Joe Kutina
Joe Kutina played two seasons as the first baseman for the St. Louis Browns from 1911-12. Joe was featured in an article in the March 11, 1912 issue of The Bridgeport Evening Farmer. He told a story about how he arrived at second base on a play, and the second baseman dropped the ball. As the umpire started to sweep the plate, the ball came to Joe, who threw it into the outfield while the umpire wasn't looking. He and the runner at third then scored. The umpire insisted on putting Joe and the other baserunner back on base. Joe was fined by the club and given a one-day suspension. - bRef Bullpen wiki
There were two photos to use and one was a side-view from a baseball card. Did the best I could with what was there starting with the photo of him looking up... but honestly, we'll never know precisely how big a chin or wide a face he had based on such photos... So, we do the best we can... The "before" also had the wrong suffix, using -joe instead of -jos
