What ballpark is this? Anybody?

Interesting: The precise origin of Paskert's nickname (an early 20th century moniker also applied at various times to Joe "Dode" Birmingham and Pete "Dode" Alexander) has been lost to history, but more than likely it was a dig at his perceived low intelligence. The English Dialect Dictionary, published in 1900, describes a "dode" as a "slow [witted] person," and a scattering of press accounts confirm that Paskert was considered stupid. In 1911, for example, Baseball Magazine's W. A. Phelon grouped Paskert with fellow center fielder Johnny Bates in that regard. "Certain critics declare that there is no choice between Bates and Paskert when it comes to intelligence," Phelon wrote, "that both of them are crowned with domes of elephant-tusk, and that if either of them ever thought quickly it must have been when deciding whether to take beer or ginger ale." Whatever its origin, the nickname apparently didn't bother Paskert, who often included the "Dode" in his signature. courtesy: bioproj.sabr.org/bioproj.cfm?a=v&v=l&bid=946&...

The guy bending down, looks like my bow legged uncle, John "Hans" Lobert, who played for the Phillies from 1911 to 1914. The park is probably the Baker Bowl, where the Phillies played from 1895-1938.

Answering Bobster1985 - it's Hilltop Park

Yes, it's Hilltop Park in NY. the building in the background right can still be seen (it's one of 3 similar) at 168th and Broadway. Unsure why the Phillies were playing at an AL park. Maybe the Giants played some games there.

Cornell won 28-7 according to NYT of October 25, 1914 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9407E3D61638E633A...
