I was thinking the great Duke Snider, who passed away recently. Then I found it:

That was taken in Ebbets Field in Brooklyn. Here's another view of the outfield wall. Interesting how they angled the first few feet so the players could launch themselves.

To me he looks like Carl Furillo, "The Springfield Rifle". Played for the Dodgers and was one of baseballs premier right fielders.
