The caption on the back of the photo reads: Coach Johnny Babich is called the Simon Legree of Oakland training camp because he makes everybody work. Here he inflicts 'hi-lo' game on, left to right, Les Scarsella, Nick Etten and Ralph Buxton. It's a great way to define bulging 'corporations'. In addition to the caption: Babich is on the far left of the photo and he has his right hand out in front of him. All of the players are hunched over and are captivated by the baseballs in the air.
