Excellent work Trey. I would add that the out of town scoreboard shows Phila at Boston in the game at the bottom. Those two teams met in Boston for three games April 23-25. Although those same teams met in Boston the two other times when the Yankees were in DC, those later series were at the very end of May and the very end of July. Given that Babe appears to be wearing sleeves under his uniform, this photo was more likely taken during the cooler weather of April.
