The easiest (and cheapest) solution to this is to just go with the repro. Write the National Baseball Library's photo department in Cooperstown, asking them if they have an image of this in their archive. To help expedite the process, be sure to give them the date of the game. It might also help to tell them who the other player (and home plate ump) in the image would have been. They file their images by player name. Chances are greater than not that such an image, if they have one, would be in the Stengel file, but you never know. 15 years ago, the cost of obtaining an 8X10 reproduction was $20--they may have raised their prices since then. Perhaps you may be able to obtain a larger version for an added charge. If they have one or more images of the play in question, they will send you xeroxes of what they have. You then send back the copies of the photos you wish to have reproduced.
