Now can someone who has experience in these matters (and I think you know who I'm talking about) please tell me: Is this a legitimate happy smiling face, or is Ken Oberkfell extremely demented and unhinged in this photograph?

I Need Help On This One
I found this rather badly gum-stained card while fumbling through some dupe boxes and it has been haunting me since. Ken Oberkfell was a fairly weak hitting third baseman who is now a coach for the Mets.

The resident expert says it's a nice smile enhanced by pretty almond-shaped eyes. The resident (suspicious New Yorker) mom sees a trace of dementedness.
But now he's a good Mets coach!
Ok then, I trust in the expert. Besides I'm cynical and suspicious enough meself.
I think he's trying to appease two photographers at once.
That's the result.
