Anything shy of at least a team ID, and 10k is a very very strong price to pay for a relatively generic, unsigned, piece - even though such an early baseball painting is rare.
maybe a folk art dealer was bidding strongly, seems to qualify as folk art, given primitive construction, period, and lack of fancy authorship.
Will forever be curious as to what that building is, seems like a Washington DC location along a river, Eastern feel, flag, super-large white building.

When you mentioned DC, I immediately thought of the main building of St. Elizabeth's Hospital.. I can't say for sure whether or not the building was ever white though. Coincidentally, all joking aside, it was also a hospital for the mentally ill for a while.
