Tell me where and when and win 08 Topps Chrome Refractor......

We all know who is at bat in this photo. Right? But, can you tell me where the photo was taken and the date. I will send an 08 Topps Chrome Refractor to the first person who can tell me where the photo was taken and another Refractor to the person who can tell me the date. If the same person tells me the location and the date in one answer I will send you (3) 08 Topps Chrome Refractors.
Good Luck!

If only I had thought of that.

It was the only day game that the Yankees played at Wrigley, which was the only year the Angles played at Wrigley.
Check out www.retrosheet.org.. You can probably spend hours if not days on it.

Mike PM me your address.

The 2 Winners are IPitch and Mike D.

Maybe. I mean, I was working my way down the list of games the Yankees played at Wrigley in LA in 1961. Would I have gotten there? Yes. Would I have gotten there first? Anyone's guess.

Your thinking you could guess 4 dates in 1 post did narrow it down, though. Thanks for the "help".

Ah, day game vs. night game. That's the differenciating feature. My answer's have been guesses (the last one, a lucky guess).

I'll PM my address. Thanks for doing the contest!
