By the way, I 'm really looking forward to seeing Greg's painting of the photo ...

Chris,
Thanks for helping out. You may be on to something, there. Graig has already gone down the list of ML parks and none are a match. The dugout's overall condition (extremely low-tech- LOL) wouldn't discount your theory and could possibly support it.
Could this be a spring training shot? Quite possibly. I haven't received the picture yet, but it supposedly originates from The Sporting News' photo archive. Does anyone know if The Sporting News back issues are available online?
Maybe that's the way I can run down where this photo was shot....
Thanks, I can't wait to see it either.
