These "disaster" type shots in the early 60's appear to be more common than you would think.
Was film that expensive that they limited their photographers to one shot?
Well now that I think about it in the days before extensive airbrushing, I think every player got at least one hatless shot in case of a trade so I think they took at least two photos.
Could you imagine asking Willie Mays in the 1960's for a hatless shot?

Not exactly a flattering shot. You have to wonder why they would use that one, unless it was the only shot they had.

"Just in case of a trade, Willie!"
