That team photo is actually from spring training of 1905. The best indication is Heinie Peitz, third from the left in the middle row. Players used to wear their uniforms from the previous season during spring training, and Peitz is wearing his Cincinnati uniform from 1904. He only played for Pittsburg in 1905 and 1906. Claude Ritchey is second from the left in the bottom row and Ginger Beaumont is on the far right in the bottom row; they were traded away from the Pirates in December, 1906. Patsy Flaherty is on the far left in the bottom row; he was with the team in 1904 and 1905 but was probably with Columbus during spring training of 1906. Honus Wagner is missing because he hated spring training.

It's a great photo!
