Cool photograph. I have to ask: What mountain is that off in the distance? It can't help but evoke images of Vesuvius ready to blow. Perhaps that's just me. :o It is just so prominent in the picture, perhaps intentionally so. Do you own the negatives?

Not that it looks like Vesuvius, but it just feels a bit foreboding.

My guess would be Camelback Mountain in Echo Park since the New Scottsdale Stadium was built on the site of the Old Scottsdale Stadium where Baltimore did Spring Training in 1956.

Yes. I own the negative. I would take Smitty's guess on the location. It is Arizona. Reminds me of an iconic logo:
