Zack Hample, baseball author, game ball snagging-specialist needs a hand. Anyone recognize the ball park/uniforms in these screen shots?

Could be Wrigley Field in Los Angeles...they shot a lot of movies there.

Not Wrigley in L.A. If I recall, in left field, Wrigley in Los Angeles had a wall...not a scoreboard. Also, I do not think it is Gilmore in Los Angeles because Gilmore had advertising on the outfield fence.

Scoreboard looks to be to far toward center to be Forbes as well as looking nothing like da kine anyway.

Gilmore was razed in 1958.

Wrigley Field LA:

Hold the presses. It seems the movie Roommates was made in 1995 and according to imdb.com was filmed in Indianapolis. Victory Field there was built in 1996 to replace Bush Stadium (named after local boy made good, Donie Bush). Wikipedia article re Bush references ivy walls (plus fact that Eight Men Out was filmed there). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_Stadium. Just found this photo so far of Bush-apparently it still stands but is derelict. The vidcaps provided by the ball shagger don't offer a whole lot to go on.

OK. Here it is . . . the smoking gun. Chief Knockahoma's teepee in centerfield. Bush Stadium, home of the Indianapolis Indians. My work is done here.
