The seller believes the photo to be from 1954 and even suggested that it might have come directly from Hank Aaron. The seller did not purport the signature to be that of Hank Aaron but rather saw it as a caption put there by the scrap-booker.

I may never know exactly what this is, but I do feel confident that it's a pretty unique and attractive early snapshot of the Hammer, definitely better than what I would have pulled off had I had my camera in hand on the same occasion.

I'll happily entertain any opinions from those of you more knowledgeable about this sort of thing. The only professional opinion I got prior to purchase was from a Milwaukee historian who ascertained that this is indeed Milwaukee County Stadium in the background.

Picked these stadium flags up at the flea market this morning. Huge flags measure about 50x70. I was thinking these could of been from Wrigley field in the 90s but not sure.

Can't imagine where they came from but they don't look of high enough quality to withstand the Wrigley winds. I have an SF flag from Wrigley that is much more heavy duty.
