Steve,
Good observation abaout the home uni of Colovito in NY. I have two possible explainations (niether of which I am certain are correct).
1. There is a possibility that the photo was taken before an exebition game. At the end of spring training sometimes teams would play a game or two in the big parks right before the season started. Is it possible that Cleavland played some other team in Yankee stadium before the season started? Not sure but worth looking into.
3. My second, and more likely possibility, is that it's not Yankee stadium. While I see what you are talking about with the facade it is out of focus and cound just be the corner of a grandstand. I was at old Yankee stadium a few times years ago and I don't remember the upper deck hanging so close over the lower seats as was appears in this photo. I seem to remember it sweeping back much farther than was apears to be in this picture.
Like I said I'm not sure which, if either, of my statements explains it but a good observation none the less on your part.
Drew
