Hi! Can anyone narrow the date of this photo based upon the cars? Thanks!
Cliff Photo of my Wife’s Grandpappy Ralph G. Clarke, Manager of the Monaca Baseball Club, far left in the photo. The photo is most likely the home field Opalite Field named after the main manufacturer in the Town, Phoenix Glass that made opal colored kerosene lamp chimneys, glass tumblers and as electricity caught on, glass for light bulbs. Could there be some future 1909 Pittsburgh Pirates in the photo? Some information from the articles referenced below: In 1905, the first amateur Beaver County League took the field. This league was the “big time” for local players, with each town recruiting its best athletes to wear its jersey. The league’s first season saw teams from Beaver Falls, New Brighton, Rochester, Conway, Ambridge, Bridgewater, Aliquippa and Monaca take the field. Each town furnished a “home” field for its team, with games taking place every Saturday throughout the summer. The Monaca team, playing at Opalite Field, took the pennant home that season. The Beaver County League was a major success from its inaugural season, with each team drawing large crowds to watch their hometown boys. By 1910, the league had gained some new teams, including one from South Heights that would go on to win three straight titles during the next decade. In addition, company teams also were allowed to join. The 1914 season saw teams from Keystone Bakery, the Townsend Co. and Standard Horse Nail join the league.

Late teens, maybe even early 1920's I would say.
