Good job picking up on the home uniform...for me looking at the crowd in the upper deck in LF would make me think that it was a big game of sorts (an AS game). Below is a link to an image from the 64 AS game...uniform looks the same(including the long sleeves in July)...good call!

Haha!!! Sorry. When I get something in my head, I wanna see it through.
I always thought those Mays cards were an extreme example of reaching back in the archives and that's only a three year gap (they also used his 1966 pic in 1969), but a 6 year gap? Yowzers.
