Shibe Park, 1950s black-and-white photo

A  beautiful photo of a full house at a day game at Shibe Park from the 1950s. Let's let Alan Luber describe his experience with this shot:

I spent an eyeball-straining week restoring the original photo digitally to remove blemishes, scratches, dirt, and creases. It was a difficult job, but the results are absolutely stunning.

This is the best interior black and white picture of Connie Mack Stadium / Shibe Park I have ever seen -- perhaps the best one in existence.

The photo was taken in the 1950's. I am unable to tell whether it is the Phillies or Athletics that are playing, but I suspect that it is the Athletics as there are no pinstripes on any of the uniforms. This would place the picture in the early 1950's.

The WIBG radio station banner is clearly visible underneath the press booth on the third base line, and I am told that WIBG broadcast both the A's and Phillies games in the early 1950's.

This is a photo of a day game with a full house -- another strong indication that this was not the Phillies.

If you grew up watching games in Connie Mack Stadium/Shibe Park, this is a must have for your collection.
