But, Colavito is wearing his home white Indians uni, so it wouldn't have been prior to a road game, right? I thought about an All-Star game photo op, but the only such game played in NY was 1960, after Rocky had been traded to Detroit. I'm certain the background could not be old Cleveland Muni stadium, as there was no such facade there, so why was the Rock posing in his home uni in Yankee Stadium in the 1950's? Maybe I'm missing a simple explanation.
