Jim,
The photo I showed could be the Kalamazoo Printers. The photo I looked at, was a latter 1850s photo of a Kalamazoo team.
The article I attached, states the locale Kalamazoo teams consisted of Printers, factory workers and the such, but the locale top Kalamazoo team, in 1910 was known as the Kalamazoo White Soxs. This is a good article.
These Kalamazoo teams were very competitive and out of these teams, became the 5 Ganzel brothers. Two of which would go on to play major league ball, with the Wolverines and Boston Bean Eaters. This family became Michigan's first family of baseball, and were very popular.
So the photo could be a group of Printers out of Kalamazoo. But will keep on checking to try to confirm this.
Thanks Jim.
