The Puzzler

Day at the Ballpark

This puzzler was sent in by Arnie Hartica.

On the back of the dustcover of David Halberstam's book about the American League Penant Race between the Boston Red Sox and the Yankees, The Summer of '49, there's a news photo of Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio standing side-by-side leaning on their bats. Little else is visible in the photo but you can tell that the photo was taken at a ballpark. Any observant baseball fan can tell you instantly that the picture was taken at an All-Star Game.

The question is, how can you tell?
