"From my fathers belongings. I dont have a clue what the occasion is.
Looks like it was taken at the old Lloyds Field.
Maybe some one will come up with the answer." - Frank C. Bramble

"It sure looks like Lloyd field to me.. Can't remember all the names but the manager of Lloyd AC was I believe was Lefty Vann Shortstop Tony Straccione? Lefty also played 1st base I believe catcher Quinn? center fielder Worm worselin? The announcer was Mr Faraday who lived across the street. Also they played most of the negro league teams who I had the privilege to see Jackie Robinson and Larry Doby play before they went to the big leagues. Had to either catch a foul ball hit during batting practice or jump the fence in right field to gain admission. Sometimes JJohn zosh would catch us and make us climb back over the fence!"
- Thanks to Jack Smith
