>>>The low perspective could be the reason you don't see the tracks over the fence.
No - you would easily see the structure - unless it did not yet exist. I think the train pre-dated Matty's arrival. |

This photo shows Jimmy Sheckard in 1906 standing near the left field foul line at PG. Just above the high grandstands can be seen a familiar line of windows from the elevated train structure.
While this is not the same view as the Matty photo, the trains did run around the outside perimeter of the outfield, and it gives us an idea of the relative height compared to the playing surface. |

OK. First off, I'm no photo expert, but...
What if Matty wasn't standing in the outfield? Supposed he was standing in the clearing behind left centerfield to the left of the circled area in the other pictue? If you were looking from that area out toward the extreme right field corner, would you still see the train tracks? In the picture of the field, could the wall behind Matty correspond to the side of the centerfield bleachers?

Where are the white posts? The panoramic stadium photo shows a circle of white posts around the outfield. It shows none in the area you describe, nor would there be any reason for them to be there. Last edited by bmarlowe1; 12-04-2009 at 08:45 PM. |

Good point.
I didn't consider them. I was focused on the train tracks.
