A LOOK AT THE 1973 KEN ASPROMONTE AIRBRUSH JOB

Came across the airbrushed image of Cleveland Indians manager Ken Aspromonte‘s 1973 card and thought it interesting to post here:

Aspromonte, who is from the same part of Brooklyn I grew up in, Bensonhurst/Gravesend, just finished his first season at the helm of the Indians, finishing fifth with a team that had Cy Young winner Gaylord Perry, Graig Nettles, Chris Chambliss and a young Buddy Bell.
He’d go on to manage the Indians for another two seasons, finishing sixth and fourth respectively in 1973 and 1974, never to manage again.
As a player he put in seven seasons on a Big League mound, spanning 1957 through the 1963 season playing for six teams after getting signed out of Lafayette High School, the rivals of my alma mater New Utrecht, and former high school of Sandy Koufax.
As a matter of fact, it seems Aspromonte and Koufax just missed each other in High School, with Koufax coming in right when Aspromonte graduated. Not bad.
As for the paint job on the card, I’m surprised Topps went through all the hassle to get that red cap airbrushed, even though Aspromonte was already in Indians garb. Why bother?
As a side note: love Warren Spahn and Rocky Colavito on the manager card as coaches!

THIS SURE AIN'T THE "BOYS OF SUMMER" HERE: 1972 TOPPS KEN ASPROMONTE

A card that has always piqued my interest because of the background in the photo is the 1972 Topps card (#784) of Indians manager Ken Aspromonte.
You see, I'm born and raised in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, just like he was, and I swear to you that it looks like the old neighborhood during Autumn behind him. I can't explain it, and I do know I don't have much to go on in that image, but damn if I don't see "home" there.
Now, I'm sure Topps didn't go and have Ken dress up in his Cleveland best during the off-season while he was back home so they could snap a shot of him for a baseball card. But I must ask, where on earth WAS this photo taken?
It was a late-series card, but does that play into photo-location probabilities here?
He seems to be standing somewhere where there are private homes and bare trees in the middle of November, like on some residential street.
It's not a Spring training facility down South or some picture of him during a regular season game in some Major League ballpark. Not even close.
This really is a unique image for a baseball card because of what the background depicts. It has "Fall" written all over it and I love it!
Does ANYONE know anything about this image? I'm dying to know what this was about.

Where was this shot taken? And when?
