Hi Guys,
One thing to note is that on card #117 the Yankees are wearing their road uniforms from 1927-1930. On card #105, both Ruth and Cobb are wearing 1927 home uniforms, so I am not sure where or under what circumstances that picture was taken.
On card #117 the catcher's uniform could possibly be the Athletics in '28, '29' or '30, the Tigers in '30, the Senators in '27 (sock stripes look too far apart, though), or the Cardinals in the 1928 World Series. Adam makes an excellent point about Uruguay's soccer team, so my guess is that the picture is either from the 1928 World Series @ St. Louis, or a 1929 game against the Athletics @ Philadelphia since the stripes on the catcher's socks match up best with the 1928 Cardinals or the 1929 Athletics.
Hope that helps, very interesting card.
Jeff
