I agree it looks more like the A's than either Baltimore or Martinsburg given the white cap. The jacket does look to be the same as well, although that leaves the year undecided. FWIW, according to Marc Okkonnen's database, the A's would have worn socks like that-- top half dark bottom half white-- during 1921-23. They only wore socks like the one in Brad's photo in 1924. I believe Okkonen has been wrong before, but is usually pretty accurate.
The team could have worn that same style jacket for years--too bad he has it on, since Okkonen shows a dark elephant for 1921-23 and a white one for 1924-26.
