I would have wondered why an IL trophy was presented at Yankee Stadium but a perusal of the New York Times archives (search: Rolfe+trophy) yielded a mention that Rolfe was indeed presented said trophy on May 30, 1934 between games of a Yanks-Senators doubleheader. The OP can pm me and I will send a .pdf file of the article (although the mention is brief and names no names). Incidentally, I will take a wild stab and claim that the player standing behind the Yank at the very right is the Iron Horse - his face is almost totally obstructed but the shoulders and haircut suggest Gehrig.
