You know that the big thumbprint in the Moorman photo was not an accident. And that's because you know the photo was long dry and long stable when it happened. It was dry as a bone. Therefore, pressing a clean, dry thumb to it was not going to phase it at all.



Therefore, the only way that could have happened is if the thumb was coated with something. And I hope it isn't necessary for me to tell you that it was deliberately coated with something.

Because otherwise, what we've got here is an episode of Seinfeld, and I don't mean the JFK episode with the Magic Loogie, although that's a good one. 

I mean the episode in which George decides that he is going to leave the New York Yankees to go to work for the New York Mets, except that he has to get fired first. So, he decides to go out in style. Showing up for an important meeting: 

GEORGE: Sorry I'm late, but look what I found in the Yankee Hall of Pride display case.

WILHELM: Isn't that Babe Ruth's uniform you're wearing?

GEORGE: Is it? (reaches into bag)

Wilhelm looks disturbed by George's actions.

GEORGE: Huh, strawberries, anyone? (eats a strawberry) Ah, that's good. Ooh, so juicy this time of year.

He wipes strawberry juice from his fingers onto Babe Ruth's jersey.

GEORGE: Gotta get the good ones.

He fetches another over-ripe strawberry from the bag, and drops it onto the front of the jersey leaving a large, pulpy stain.

GEORGE: Oh, that's bad. That's bad.
