It was DEFINITELY a beaut. I think whoever won it got a steal.
The only thing that I've been really wondering about is when and where it's from. At first glance, I was pretty sure it was the Polo Grounds, but I can't seem to exactly match any of my photos of the ballpark from the turn of the century to the same depicted one. Also, Matty seems to be wearing his away uniform, from what I can tell in gray scale.
But then again, it kinda looks like this photo has a similar sky-scape to other shots of the Polo Grounds from the same era. I'm referring mainly to the tallish building that was beyond the leftfield wall. Is it possible that this was taken over the fence in Manhattan Field during some warmups?
Or am I just crazy?
