On June 7, 1941 the Yanks scored five runs in the top of the ninth to beat the Browns, 11-7 at Sportsman's Park. King Kong Keller hit a grand slam in the third. Dimaggio went three-for-five, thus hitting safely in 22 consecutive games to that date. I think it is a terrific photo. I'd have loved to have been the fan in the aloha shirt and Panama hat with a front row seat for that dogfight. I particularly like the way your photo matches up with my postcard, at least for range and windage. It's like one of those kids' puzzles, how many differences can you find?

Here is a link to the NYT article about the game: http://tinyurl.com/l6yuen
It's in pdf format and it's the first time I have tried to upload a pdf file to my ImageEvent site, but I think it should open OK.
