Assuming the date (7 May 1914) is correct, this photograph was taken at the Baker Bowl in Philadelphia, where the Robins (as the Brooklyn team was called then) beat the Phillies, 6-5. Aitchison was the starting pitcher for Brooklyn (see retrosheet.org and baseball-reference.com)

mbouchard58 Looks like the photo was dated sometime after it was actually taken. Given the outfield configuration, background, wall, and signage (Hunter Whiskey, New York Central System, Ajax Tires, Schweppes, White Rose, etc.), I believe this is actually the Polo Grounds.
Art Siegel said:
yeah, it's identical to the signage in www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/5209397538/ which shows the Polo Grounds on opening day of the 1914 season (a Yankees/Athletics) game. Brooklyn had played the New York Giants in the Polo Grounds on May 2, 4 and 6. www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1914/PKL_NYC141914.htm Aitchison is wearing Brooklyn's road grays in the picture, so this must be from that series.
