According to the Internet, here is where the Dodgers trained during the relevant time:
1941-42 Havana, Cuba
1943-45 Bear Mountain, NY
1946 Daytona Beach, FL
1947 Havana, Cuba
1948 Ciudad Trujillo, Dom. Rep.
1948-1952+ Vero Beach, FL |
I think it's definitely Vero late 40's. The artificial hill/mound that surrounded Holman is visible and there were numerous deciduous trees after it opened and the root bases under his armpit and by the foot look like palms.
