Wrigley Field historical sleuthing: 1929 edition

Getty Images provided the following information for this photo:

Man holding two boater hats, standing amid other boater hats that are lying on the field in front of crowd in grandstands at Wrigley Field, Chicago, Illinois, during a 1929 World Series game between the National League’s Chicago Cubs and the American League’s Philadelphia Athletics.

There’s no doubt that this is a photo of boater hats on the field at Wrigley.

However, I can say with 100 percent certainty that it was not taken during the 1929 World Series.

How am I so sure about that?
