not far (or wide) enough

topps asks the question "how far?" on this checklist card in their 2022 flagship set

it's a pretty fun card as far as checklists go. i don't recognize the guy between vladimir guerrero jr and fernando tatis jr, but he doesn't seem to be as invested in the home run derby as much as the other two are. i also think it's weird that topps captioned the photo as "tatis and vlad react..." when it would make more sense to say "vlad and tatis react..." based on their positioning in the photo. ah well we know that topps isn't concerned with identifying players on these cards based on the other checklist vladdy jr appears on with wander franco that includes neither of their names.

back to the question posed by topps, however. when you look at the original photograph that was used for the card

you can see that it is whit merrifield whose cap is strangely cut in half on the card, but to his right sat none other than ken griffey jr. we could have had three juniors on the card if the crop had been a bit wider. opportunity lost!
