Initially I thought it was the 1938 Bees road uniform. On closer scrutiny I came down on the side of the 1937 Bees road uniform. The 1937 road uniform cap differs marginally from the 1938 road uniform cap. If you examine the trim on the 1937 cap the shape of the trimming is closer to a B whereas on the 1938 cap the trim is straighter. Attached are other examples of the 1937 uniform. So, yes, this would indicate the image is likely from 1938 Spring Training.
Players depicted :- Elbie Fletcher, Gil English, Vince DiMaggio, Jim Turner, Eddie Mayo

I've seen other pics from this general time frame of other players in similar attire... can anyone shed light on this particular uniform, especially regarding what colors were featured? You can click the pics for larger views.
