Help with Photo ID...1925 Pirates???

Here is a pic of the back of the paper....

The uniform style does look like 1923-24 Pirates, but that's not an outfield wall in the background...that's a gas station with two billboards next to it.

yep, I think your absolutely correct about the service station off the rear center/left, but logic would dictate that two players (pro's, per your guess which I appreciate) wouldn't be walking around in full uniform if a field wasn't close by.

I may be way off, but I just have/had a hunch that those boards are, maybe, the outfield wall of a ballpark (or just a ball field)....obviously not Pittsburgh, but somewhere else. Anyone know where the Pirates held spring training back in those days?

Thanks for the help on the possible dates...much appreciated.

I figured with the tree right next to it that it was probably just a billboard.

to me, those trees are at a much shorter distance than the billboards. regardless, I appreciate your comments...anybody have any thoughts on the identity of the players or the elder man.

Here's a link I'm sure a lot of you folks out there will like--the most comprehensive list I've ever encountered (as lead cataloger for Heritage Sports Collectibles) of Spring Training grounds throughout the years. You're welcome

The ole' boy looks like Kenesaw Mountain Landis. It looks like a road in front of the 2 billboards leading right past the gas station--don't believe it's a ball park at all , but maybe the players are on the edge of one & the billboards are placed to be easily seen from the park.
