Who knows. Maybe they were having a workout there and then took a 20 minute bus ride up the road for an "away" game during spring training. Scottsdale, Glendale, Mesa, and others are all right there near that ballpark. I am not well-versed as to what teams would have been where in the early 1960's, but I would think that stands to reason.

Makes sense. Another possibility might be an intra-squad game, where the 50 or so spring training invitees split into 2 teams.
