Yes, like the above posters, the combination of uniforms, baseball like pants with knee sox, baseball hats, 9 players (not 5 for a basketball team, not 11 for a football team). And the fact that these guys all look like ballplayers - about the right age and stature - no fatties or old men.
As far as the equipment goes, I'd guess that those guys didn't just have their gloves and bats available all the time and that the equipment was probably locked up when this photo was taken.
