I bought a copy of the Foss from Mary Brace 10+ years ago. There's a vertical color flare at about its midpoint - likely from a manufacturing flaw on the original film. There are also two gray gravel strips surrounding the bullpen rubber and the bullpen plate down the RF line (there wasn't really a Wrigley bullpen mound in the early '60s, just as there often wasn't anything more than a slight rise in most parks with on-field bullpens until late in that decade). Indeed, the very idea of having a pitcher warm-up from a full mound was still a novel enough idea that when the Mets tried it with Galen Cisco, it was a big deal to the Mets' radio broadcasters.

BTW when the Mets ditched Foss he went to the Tigers, not the Braves, for Fernandez.
