If it weren't for that darn sweater!!! If it's minor league you may never find out...photos of minor league ballparks from that era seem even rarer than hen's teeth. I've only found three photos of Lincoln's Antelope park..only two show the outfield fence...and these photos came from a family photo album. I still have never found a single photo of Landis Field which Lincoln played in from 1922-1939 except for photos of the U of Nebraska team playing a game there that were published in the school yearbook.

Newspapers of the day just didn't dispatch photographers to minor league games and much of the photography from that era we have of minor leaguers come from the fans in the stands.
