Picked up this neat broadside, anybody recognize any of the names written on the back?

I believe this may be from 1903 for the Greenville (Mississippi) Grays but let me do a little more research for you. Some of the names may be from the Cotton States League that season.

Correct. Bob Pender is another, was manager of the Baton Rouge team in 1902-1904. I looked on the Ebay listing and there is a date of July of 1901 that does not show up on your entry. Stands to reason that is correct, as I have found that Millett joined the team in June of that season. And I also believe the "Tourists" is actually the name of the Greenville team.

I think I was mistaken about the Greenville team name. Sorry about that, but as I reread through the article it seems the visiting team were "tourists". How do you see it?

After reading the article a few times I believe you are right.
