I remember this came up about 5 years ago. Here is what member Doug Goodman said in that thread. 'It's not heaven, it's Iowa. I think the big clue is on the scoreboard, and I’ll bet the picture was taken at a college or minor league park in Iowa during one of the Yankees' many barnstorming tours in the '20s or early '30s. "The Peach" and tagline "Last Word in Sports" on the scoreboard probably refer to the Des Moines Register newspaper, which for many years printed it’s sports section on peach-colored paper. The Sunday edition was known as “The Big Peach.” Garner “Sec” Taylor was the Register’s sports editor for 51 years, from 1914-1965; and Des Moine’s Principal Park, formerly known as Sec Taylor Stadium, is the home of today’s Pacific Coast League Iowa Cubs. Babe and Lou did barnstorm Des Moines, Oct. 18, 1927 and Oct. 29, 1928"
