OK, I found some incredible ballpark pics. Here's the first one, Exposition Park (August 5th, 1905)

The second one is called "Raising of the Pennant" and was developed May 20th, 1907. This leads me to believe it is a pic of the Chicago Cubs stadium?

Next, is a picture of Shibe Park, Philadelphia. This is from 1910.
