Thanks for the responses, everyone - as well as your compliments!!
David, the painting could be yours, but the guy who commissioned it seems to really be attached to it, too. I say you guys fight to the death!!! Actually, that's not a good idea. They're much more important things to fight for. Sorry, it's been a long night...painting, wedding stuff, etc. But regardless, I really appreciate the sentiments.
Regarding that line, I dunno...for some reason, I'm not 100% sold on it being the foul line. The way I read it was that the line follows the break between the grass and the wide dirt/clay track that surrounded the grass. I feel like the foul line would probably cut across the field at a different angle?
This color slide from 1953 shows what I'm talking about

Maybe because of the angle, I can't see it like springpin had mentioned?
Or really, I'm just crazy? Probably? Punch me in the face, please.
