We can also tell that it is a day game.
Interestingly, Marc Okkonen's resource on uniforms, while not 100% accurate, tells us that the A's did not wear this color combination at home in 1969-72, and while they did in 1968, both home and away uni's said Oakland. He seems to be wrong on this one, unless this is game action from the road (unlikely).
Bob, I'm not sure there was an error on the play. Seems to me that he is handling a throw, either from home or more likely first, because he is covering the bag and is not likely to have been fielding a grounder there. It doesn't seem like the ball got away from him very far, and it may be that if there was an error it would have been charged on the throw. It could also have been something as innocuous as a throw down to second after warm-up pitches. My two cents.
