Great photo. There is some past discussion of this image on the web.
https://www.baseballhistorycomesaliv...ox-ball-field/ The field is the current “Green" at Dartmouth. Right in the middle of town. That line running from the left of the batter to the right of the shortstop is a footpath across the Green. Dartmouth played Harvard on May 23, 1882, in Hanover. Below is a boxscore from an earlier 1882 game, May 17th, between Harvard and Dartmouth, in Cambridge.

Ken Burns wrote in American Heritage that his favorite baseball photograph is this 1882 image showing a Dartmouth-Harvard game on the northwest corner of the Green. See photos below...

Great grab, Javan. Could be of interest to many here since it seemed to have piqued Ken Burns interest.
