Obviously shot on Opening Day. Which year? Probably 1957 (M. 4/15). Opposing managers were Washington's Charlie Dressen and Baltimore's Paul Richards (0:08-0:30) . Dressen was Senators' Opening Day manager from 1955 to 1957. Orioles were the visitors in '55 & '57. Scoreboard shows them leading 6-5 in the 7th (3:06-3:08). They ended up beating the Senators 7-6 in 11 innings. Dressen was fired 19 games later.
This would be the franchise that would move to Minneapolis and become the Minnestota Twins
