Scott,
I believe that this definitely is a Spring Training/minor league stadium. It's hard for me to believe that any major league stadium in 1938 would be in that amount of disrepair.
Also,
I think that picture will be outstanding in Kreindlercolor. The mix of bright sun at the very front with varying degrees of shading as you progress toward the back of the picture is quite intriguing. In this picture it is amazing that while he is in shade, there is still enough light to create a shadow in the back wall of the dugout from his body. I think this type of light manipulation is really where Graig's talent shines through.(Hence all the comparisons to Rembrandt). I can't wait to see the final product.
Perhaps you could play around in photoshop, or similar, to test out different colors on the wood to see what you think looks the best.
Best,
Mark
