Guys,
Thanks for the input. Love the picturegram. I only have one other photo of the brothers, which I posted on the forum a while back. That one shows them on the field chatting with two women in the stands (their wives?) before a game. The stands are adorned with those traditional concentric red, white and blue banners (I forget what those are called) which leads me to believe it was taken on an Opening Day sometime in the 1930s. Also, last night I pressed my dad for more background info and on further reflection he thinks that the photos were more likely given to him by his stepfather Fred who was an avid photographer and lived in western Pennsylvania in the 1930s. That wouldn't explain the AP photo from Boston but maybe he made a trip there on behalf of a Pittsburgh newspaper or acquired that photo from another source.
