If it is definitely a SF Seals PCL uniform, I have a picture of Orval Overall from 1913 showing him in the same uniform, minus the sleeve number. The number is the key to dating it, does anyone have any San Francisco Zeenuts circa 1910-1915 that shows these numbers? I would guess that they were a short-lived novelty. The uniform style is the one used starting in 1913 and looks like it was phased out in 1916. Also, Lemp's Beer was a St. Louis company if that means anything. The plain white socks could mean it was taken in spring training since the Seals wore various styles of socks with a navy stripe on them.
