Here is a photograph of the Yale baseball team, circa 1882. Note that the players are sitting in the same spot as GHWB was in 1948. The tree background behind Bush's left shoulder exactly matches the upper right background of the team photo. You can even see part of the railing Bush is sitting on, although it looks like it was upgraded a bit over the years.
And the man sitting in the center holding a baseball is a roughly 20-year-old Amos Alonzo Stagg (he would die in 1965 at the age of 102).
