Stadium ID Help

[aelefson]

Hi-
I hope I am not pushing my limit with too many identification help threads but I finally got around to scanning some old snapshots I have had for a long time. Below are four that I believe I purchased together. Any clue what stadium this is? How about the approximate year and/or event? My guess is 1930s but I really have no idea as to the stadium. I can provide better scans if needed. Thank you again for everyone's help on my previous identification threads and thank you in advance for any help on this one.

The roofline matches up with aerial shots of Shibe Park as found on Google Images. Compare the area around the left field foul pole in your photo with Graig Kreindler's "Beast Bangs Gomez" painting. Looks the same. Only immediate clue to era are all the boaters worn by fans; that only narrows it to a couple of decades. Difficult to say what the event might be. Thin crowd, not a big game.

I'm thinking Griffith Stadium.

I thought Griffith at first, too, because of the grandstand roofline. But Alan's photos show a covered deck in left field whereas Griffith Stadium had bleachers.

I have to agree with John, Shibe Park, the smokestack in the back with the roof line matches.

I agree the smokestack is the giveaway.

Thanks guys! I am very happy to place them in the correct place in my collection (1st Shibe photos for me). I really appreciate everyone's help.

Thanks again,
Alan
