As you can see, it’s titled “Cubs Game 1960’s.” Okay, now we can get to sleuthing.

The marquee shows a series against Milwaukee on Aug. 24-25-26. With the marquee being blue/green and the title, this has to be the Milwaukee Braves.

The marquee was painted red in 1965, so this would have to be before that.
