Anyway, can anyone explain the background of the 1951 Bowman Mays? Is that a sheet trying to hide the background, which appears to be a Midwestern barn?
Seriously, what the heck is it? A green barn? Here’s the one I sold:

Haha, I've always wondered the same thing. The actual picture was sold in an auction (I think Lelands) several years ago and it's in a stadium. Not sure what the artist was going for here but I always thought it was supposed to be a spring training shot and that odd looking tarp being used as a bp backstop off the field.
