What is the building in the background ?

Without snooping, it looks like a hospital to me.

The buildings are the ones that loomed over right/centerfield in Yankee Stadium. Back in the 'early days' there wasn't much there to block them out…

Looks like Bobby was standing somewhere around the front of the Yankees dugout (definitely on the right side of the field) when the picture was taken (if, of course, the photograph isn't some sort of composite).

Edited to add:
In this photo the building has more of that same reddish hue that the Richardson card displays…

Just recieved this card yesterday. It was a huge condition upgrade for me from my written on and creased in half one. Love it.

Thanks, Daren. That sort of conjures up the image of that icon, Mickey Mantle

Drew-- nice example of on of my favorite cards. Thanks for sharing

Thanks Mike! I was very pleased to add the card to my collection. I wish it had been cut a little better but I've only seen one other Mantle Dan Dee with another player on the back so didn't know when I'd have another opportunity.
