Default Any guess to the location of these photos? US Military Base?

These photos were picked up in a lot about a year ago; these three appear to be from the same location, and none of the other two dozen photos from the lot even remotely resemble these.

What I see:
  • There are several American flags flying high in close proximity
  • Some "palm" trees in the background.
  • Tough to tell, but I believe the players are perhaps of Caribbean/South American decent. Definitely do not appear to be Caucasian.
  • An umpire in all white, head-to-toe with a "pith" helmet on.

Any ideas:

Just a wild guess, but maybe the Virgin Islands? The landscape is pretty flat, I see what looks like palm trees and the "umpire" is dressed in what easily could be a cricket official's uniform. The US and British Virgin Islands are close enough together for this type of homogenization to occur.

There is some historical debate, but it is believed that baseball was brought to the VI's as early as the turn of the century.

Strictly a guess here, but they remind me of baseball photos I have seen from the Philippines.

looks to me like there are mountains / big hills in the back ground, with the palm trees, mountains, US flags and the players, I would only be guessing here but I would guess Puerto Rico
