My parents were married in 1937. They went to Detroit on their honeymoon and took in this Tiger game at Briggs Stadium. My mother always said that Schoolboy Rowe was the Tiger pitcher. I can't tell who the opponents were, but chances are they are the Yankees. Schoolboy Rowe and the Yankees in town may account for massive crowd in the upper and lower centerfield bleachers. If it is the Yanks, Joe DiMaggio is the Yankee on the far right with his back to the camea. From the looks of the play, aomeone just hit a three-run homer off Schoolboy. Ugh! My parents had deluxe seats that day, lower deck behind home plate, they must have splurged or, perhaps, the seats were a wedding present. It's an amazing photo nonetheless, thank goodness mom brought the camera. Be sure to double-click on the photo to enlarge the picture.
