- Connie Mack managed the Philadelphia Athletics baseball team for 50 seasons and was the only Major League Baseball manager to win consecutive World Series championships on separate occasions (1910-1911 and 1929-1930). This happens to have been taken between the 1910 and 1911 championships. Restored version of File:Connie Mack.jpg.

- Weak Oppose Has a focus issue with his face, half of his face (Front half) is out of focus. Likewise the very weak contrast in his eyes makes this picture creep me out to a very high degree. —

- He's a man with pale blue eyes and a bright sky reflecting on the iris. Bright sunlight produces about the same effect on my own eyes. I'll see about tweaking the focus a little more.

- I understand why it's low contrast for his eyes, just had to point out when I look at it it creeps me out. :P — raeky ( talk | edits) 21:20, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

- Weak Oppose I also immediately noticed that the center of his face is out-of-focus. -- mcshadypl T C 17:42, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
- Weak Support Though the center of the face is slightly out of focus, I like the look of him not just staring into the camera, and instead looking past it (presumably to the field). The restoration is quite good, and the EV is certainly very high. NW ( Talk) 21:08, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
- Support Despite his face being out of focus, the restoration is good, when not viewed at full resolution the focus is excusable. Considering that we are unlikely to find a superior image of the subject I would be willing to overlook the flaws. Cowtowner 21:22, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
