First, the dirt makes it look like he doesn't have a hand on his right arm.

Wietelmann played and later coached for the PCL Padres (before they became a major league club) in the 50's, and was a coach for the first few years the Padres were in the majors. Very interesting guy.<br /><br />http://articles.latimes.com/1985-04-16/sports/sp-23377_1_san-diego<br /><br />BTW, if that Tyson Ross A&G card looks sweet.
