If you've surfed over to Google Maps lately and done a search for Citizens Bank Park, you'll notice the satellite view shows batting practice set up on the field. Our friend over at Another Delco Guy puts the puzzle pieces together and concludes that the image was taken on opening day 2010 in Philadelphia.
There were cars in the lots. "Hmm. That's interesting," I thought. "I wonder what the event is. From up high it looked like the The Lincwas lined for soccer and that Citizens Bank Park had tarps around homeplate. "Like for batting practice," I thought.
I zoomed in closer. And as I did I noticed the beer garden and radio tents set up near the Third Base Gate.
My observation that would add to this theory is the logo that appears to be painted behind home plate but is covered in the image by the blue tarp.

If you look at this flickr photo and zoom all the way in on Google Maps, it appears as if the "Opening Day" logo is painted on the field.
So, given all of this evidence, there's a very, very good chance that I am one of the dots on the field at Citizens Bank Park on Google Maps view of the venue.
Thanks, Another Delco Guy for the find.
