men playing baseball in Riverdale, NY, 1920s

From my grandparents' home movies, a segment showing some men dressed up in jackets and ties and knickers, playing baseball on the front lawn of a house in Riverdale, NY, in the 1920s. We also see some old cars.

@louiejack6 Thanks for the update. The weasels didn't even ask me. On the one hand I am flattered. On the other, a little miffed.

I had someone else look at the photo. Why are you so sure its not LaGuardia. The people playing look as if they could be in politics.

[lipwak]

La Gaurdia has never been mentioned as a friend of the family. They were an amazingly tight bunch of friends who would travel together (see Fl, Bermuda/Nassu/Nova Scotia/etc footage I have here) and socialized alot together. We've never had political connections.

July 16, 2009. Would you know if one of the men playing baseball is Mayor LaGuardia.  And the address of the home. Thank you

[lipwak]

I kinda doubt La Gaurdia is in there. And, sorry, I can't give you the address of the house except to say it is on the river side of the HH parkway. I don't actually know the address to the house!

I grew up in Escrow, but it vas no place to live. You couldn't even go out at night without your stake.
