In turn based on, if we're not delusional, a well-known action photo of the Babe, although we can't place the actual source. Photograph or Bambino experts, any help on that?

This would be the photo we were thinking of:
Anyone on board have the date that was taken, or know the identity of the photographer, or recognize the venue?

It is an early 1920s uniform. The Yankees got rid of the pinstriped hat around 1925 I think.

It's the Polo Grounds. I have seen the photo dated 1921, though I don't recall the source.

Thanks for the help so far, gentlemen. The Getty site labels all the photos on that page "1920" or "1921" (clearly misleading at best -- many obviously date from much later), but we were confident someone here could identify the stadium with its distinctive grandstand and "Hotel Commodore" sign (also seen on that page in row 1, pic 1, and row 8, pic 2). And as that would be the Polo Grounds, at least we know the photo dates from earlier than 1923 (which may be the reason the boardgame was labelled a 1922 product by other collectors).
Further details on the photo are still most welcome...
