1917 stadium identification?
Hello all, picked this up at the National and was wondering if anyone could tell me what stadium it is (bonus points if you know what the heck it is — blank backed and approximately the size of a tobacco card, a little skinnier and taller). The back has a hand written date in pencil of 1917. Thanks!

I believe it is Comiskey Park.

Yes, that's definitely Comiskey. Compare this V. O. Hammer postcard, dated 1931 on the back but with an image from maybe a decade earlier. The stands along the first base line are exactly the same, but from a slightly different angle.

The arched "windows" are the giveaway. I'd agree, Comiskey.
