Default C & O Railroad Baseball Team Postcard

I believe this to be a Postcard of a Local (Eastern KY) C&O Baseball Team.
It has no date but it is an AZO Card with 4 diamonds up on the back where you put a stamp. That means it was made between 1904 and 1918. Does anyone know anything about this league or even a value on something like this? I would not think it has any great value unless one of the guys played pro ball. The guy in the second row with his arms around 2 players looks familiar to me but I can't figure out who he may be. I know I have seen his face somewhere before. Maybe I am wrong and they are all amateur players. Thanks for any help!!
Mark

I doubt there are any pro players on this card....almost all of these old team photos can fool you...looks like Smokey Joe Wood in the front row sitting next to Germany Schaefer...but of course we know they aren't in the photo. Postcards like this are listed on ebay everyday and they usually sell in the $10-$30 range.

Isn't that Jim Thorpe on the bottom row far right?
LOL

Not Thorpe--It's Jack Dempsey!
