The back says "Brooklyn 1917 Champions". In the early 20th century, the team that won the pennant in one year were said to be the champions for the following year. I've posted below as an example a composite image of the Pittsburg Pirates, who won the National League championship in 1903, labeled as 1904 champions; they finished in fourth place in 1904. (I do not own this composite.) Brooklyn finished first in the NL in 1916, thus they were the 1917 champions. The photo is not mislabeled.
