1917 stadium identification?
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hello all, picked this up at the National and was wondering if anyone could tell me what stadium it is (bonus points if you know what the heck it is — blank backed and approximately the size of a tobacco card, a little skinnier and taller). The back has a hand written date in pencil of 1917. Thanks!

I believe it is Comiskey Park.

Yes, that's definitely Comiskey. Compare this V. O. Hammer postcard, dated 1931 on the back but with an image from maybe a decade earlier. The stands along the first base line are exactly the same, but from a slightly different angle.

The arched "windows" are the giveaway. I'd agree, Comiskey.
