Lucas, do you where know your snapshot of Solly Drake and Tommy Davis was taken? I'm wondering if it's Delorimier Stadium.
Here are snapshots of Dixie Walker with the same background as Babe, and Tommy Davis, taken in 1958 with the Victoria Rosebuds, likely just a month or so before he joined Montreal.

Wow, Tommy looks like he got a few years older in just a month or two!
Love the Sparkle Tone Branding as well on your shot, it gives that 50s aesthetic that I love so much.
As for the stadium, definitely is Delorimier! Will attach a great photo to show similarities. It's A few decades earlier but shows the high right field wall and the windowed factory style building beyond the stadium.
Also Speaking of Ef Collis, I have a beautiful very young Don Drysdale (seemingly rookie year?) Shot I believe Collins took. Very snap-esque though I believe it's a shot made to be sold (though I'm not certain, can't find Another example). With a great looking auto from Don.
