Stargell appears to be crouching, and the photo was cropped in a way to make him appear to be standing upright. That is why the ground is at an angle.
March 19, 1973. Same date as teammate Manny Sanguillen.
The same image can be seen in color on Stargell's 1974 Topps Jigsaw Puzzle.
The photo for his 1974 Home Run Leaders card was probably taken at the same time. His cap is at the same jaunty angle.
That jigsaw puzzle is so cool. Don't think I've ever seen one in person before.
