For what it's worth, I have *NO* idea where the original photograph was taken. It doesn't seem like a big league ballpark considering the fence and condition of the ground, but I'm of course not 100% on that. Also, I'm not 100% on the year either, as it's a general guess from the jersey and belt style (check out those long sleeves withOUT the button attachments). His face also seems to be a bit on the younger side, I think? But certainly, if anybody has any information they're willing to share, I'd love to hear about it!
The fence looks like the one in the background of T3 subjects Carrigan and Graham, who both played for Boston, and since they were in different leagues, my guess would be that would be their intersection.
