No, but see above. The '65 Topps pic is definitely Casa Grande; the stands are a match. No great explanation as to why he's wearing the road shirt, but other searches on the interwebs have led to other photos of the Giants wearing road shirts at Casa Grande.

Who knows. Maybe they were having a workout there and then took a 20 minute bus ride up the road for an "away" game during spring training. Scottsdale, Glendale, Mesa, and others are all right there near that ballpark. I am not well-versed as to what teams would have been where in the early 1960's, but I would think that stands to reason.
