Default Knickerbocker Photo (Update)

Hi everyone! Several months ago, I posted images from my stereoview photograph that I believe depicts members of the Knickerbocker baseball team. I acquired it on eBay; it was listed as just "Six Learned Gents," but I noticed certain resemblances immediately. I wanted to give you a quick update. I've studed it further and took into account the various opinions I've received. I finally realized that the image is reversed. Also, as it's a stereoview and there are two identical pictures on the card, I discovered that the picture I didn't use is clearer than the one I did. I also figured out how to use the photo editing tool on my phone to sharpen the pictures so they're much clearer and easier to compare. After doing all that, I found that I was wrong on three of the six original identifications. I'm pretty much 100% convinced that all of these IDs are now correct (Walter Avery, Doc Adams, Duncan Curry, Charles De Bost, Fraley Niebuhr, Charles Birney). To me, it seems irrefutable that this photo depicts the Knickerbockers. In any event, I hope you're all doing well, and I would appreciate any opinions or help you can provide. Thanks!
