Card Backgrounds 55 Bowman
I can usually figure out the background location of many postwar cards if there is even a small clue.
I can use some help on the '55 Bowmans. Much of the photography, both American League and National League are taken in the same park. The common distinguishing features are the tall light towers out in left field. Could this be Shibe Park? In 1954 both the Athletics and Phillies played there which would have simplified the photographers work by bringing all teams into one location and Bowman was located in Philly. Makes sense to me. Unfortunately I can't find a corresponding photo of Shibe would confirm this.

Bingo! Those light towers look the same. Apparently Shibe was re-named as Connie Mack in 1953. More pictures of Shibe at this guy's website: http://www.alanluber.com/merchandise...parkphotos.htm
