Default OT: Opinion requested - to trim or not to trim?

I have a full page 3 from the October 4, 1902 edition of the Doylestown (which has a photo of the AL champion Philadelphia A's) that I am considering cutting and I would like to get opinions on whether or not I should do this. The first pic I attached shows a (not so great) photo of the entire page. The second and third pics show 2 ways I am considering to cut this and get it framed (if I do end up cutting it).

If this was a front page, it would be a no-brainer (to me, anyway) to leave the page intact, however due to it being an interior page, and there is no real "write-up" on the team in the text beyond the caption itself (and there is nothing of note or interesting in the rest of the text, IMHO), I thought it might be more visually appealing if I cut out the "distractions" and reduced the page to not much more than the photo.

One idea is to cut it straight across under the caption, leaving the remaining upper page complete (attachment 2). The other is to trim as much away as possible while still leaving the date of the paper (attachment 3). (If I end up deciding to cut it, I'll have it professionally done).

What would Net54 do?
A ) Leave as is (but get a better frame)?
B ) Trim below the pic but keep the entire page (pic 2)?
C ) Trim as much out as possible (pic 3)?
D ) And now for something completely different???
