Most pics are showing the cop on the right? But I have watched the replay and the officer is way to the left when the grand slam was hit. How could this be?

Hold a pencil up arms length away and line it up with the center of your monitor. Tilt your head left. Then tilt your head right.

It just depends on the angle the photo was taken from. Look at the relationship of the cop to the yellow Nikon sign on the wall in each photo and you will see the difference.

Image was flipped.
How about this one.....

This even makes it more confusing with the angle. It is clear cop is on the left but same angle shows he is on right.

Cop looks familiar..............

Something looks off about that first pic. While the angles are different, they don't appear different enough to show the cop on different sides of Hunter. You'd have to be far to the right to get the angle showing the cop on that side of him and if you were too far over, you wouldn't see the cop.

Here's some more angles: http://wap.mlb.com/play/?content_id=3113...=undefined

The best way to get an idea of the angle of the shot is to put a straight object such as a ruler or piece of paper along the seam of the top of the outfield pads. They were indeed shot from very different angles.

I understand that but based on the people in the stands and the sign on the fence the angle would have to be from way right to totally flip the legs from the left to the right. If you look at the actual replay on ESPN you can see just how far left the cop is when the player actually goes over the fence. I dont know if they photo shopped or flipped just to get the legs and the cop centered perfectly for a more dranatic photo.

If they flipped, it was 'shopped as well, as all of the lettering on the fan shirts is correct. I flipped the originil and added an odu on the cop just for fun, but it is clearly flipped as all of the fan shirts are backwards.

My theory is the Red Sox have the wall on hydraulics and when the ball was close they moved the wall in to make sure it went over. In the process it took out Hunters legs and made the cop move to the right. Or maybe he was on hydraulics also. Gotta be one or the other.

Also bear in mind that the various photos in question are not only affected by the angle of the plane of the camera lens to the subject, but also from the distance of that plane to the subjects (which are relatively close to each other.) The closer the lens to the subjects the more the spatial relationship between the subjects will be affected.
