1994 Barons Baseball Photo Help
 
2 Attachment(s)
I have no idea about photos so I'm putting this under the no question is a dumb question category.

Would these two Michael Jordan baseball photos from his time with the Birmingham Barons be considered Type 1 photos? I can tell from the back that they were printed in May 1994 but not sure what the other numbers/letters mean. The opposing team in the photo I believe is the Orlando Cubs who they played on May 9-11 of that month/year.

Thanks in advance!

Look like Type 1 snapshots to me.

It's absolutely crazy to me that those stands aren't even close to full to see Michael Jordan play baseball....even if he wasn't very good at it.

No way every game isn't a sell-out in today's celebrity obsessed climate.

Just what I was thinking when I saw the stands

Might be that it was a weekday home game and for the locals the novelty had worn off. I saw him in Nashville and Chattanooga and by my remembrance both places were completely packed.

The date says May so it's likely a Wednesday day game when kids aren't out of school and most of the population has to work.

Thanks Dave. Another member messaged me with the same info about the TYPE 1 photo category it would fall under.

Were these photos taken in Chattanooga at Engle Field?

Correction : Lookouts dugout is on the 3rd base side. It wasn't in Chattanooga.

That’s Hoover Met stadium in Birmingham.
