Photo ID Help - Baker Bowl circa 1905
 

Was wondering if anyone recognizes any of the people in the this photo? I've established that it was taken at the Baker Bowl in Philadelphia and the equipment leads me to believe that it most likely was taken 1900 to 1905 (very nice ring bat and webless glove). I'm guessing the uniformed guys are local players that were being honored for some reason. Was hoping some of the guys in suits may have had a role with the Phillies. Any thoughts? Thanks

Brett, I would like to see the matting of the photo, but I think it is closer to 1900, maybe heading toward 1895 - maybe it has something to do with the renovation done in 1895 - some sort of grand reopening?

The uniforms and equipment could certainly be 1895-1900, and the general look of the hats in the stands make me lean toward that. Maybe you could compare the police uniforms to what they wore in Philadelphia to get a better idea.

2 newspaper teams and 2 insurance companies. A couple of others I don't know

Thanks for the help - it is appreciated. I'll keep looking for information.
