Mark,
The stadium is old Navin Field in Detroit. It's a bit tough to recognize, as it seemed to have a pretty major face-lift every year or so during the 1930s. For the World Series that year, ginormous bleachers were built to hold the extra fans, so that certainly changed the landscape considerably. This is what it looked like around the time Ruth hit his 701st that July of '34...  Graig

Graig... thanks!
That's just an awesome photo of Navin Field. I went back and edited my post when I noticed you already had mentioned that Babe hit #701 in Detroit. But I am so glad you posted that photo, as it's the best image I've seen of that stadium. Clearly not Palm Trees out there, either

Hey Mark!
I didn't even realize that I had mentioned it in the first place. My mind isn't all there, apparently. I have a lot of other images of the ol' park from that era, and honestly, I have to thank the good people at Legendary for it. They've been having these wonderful eBay auctions over the past few months, selling negatives of Tiger stuff from all eras, but most especially from the 30s and 40s. I've definitely lucked out with some great images for my reference files, as well as some great negatives for my own use. I'm amazed that I landed some of the ones that I did!!!

Still awaiting it's arrival. I searched all over and couldn't find anything online. Those stands in Navin Field are amazing.
