1974 TOPPS BILLY WILLIAMS: BLINDED BY YELLOW

I have always wondered why Topps messed around with the photo used on the 1974 Billy Williams card.
Take a look:


What on earth is with ALL that yellow?!
Would love to know where the image is from, and why Topps felt the need to mess with the background like that.
So strange, no?
Anyone have any ideas?
They over saturated the background, and you can even see where the batter's box is divided between the over-saturated side and the "untouched" side (Williams' side).
It's a nice action photo, but sadly ruined with the "effect" going on…
