Default 1860s Baseball - my first 19th Century

You will probably have a tough time identifying it unless someone recognizes the building. The top hats you pointed out are usually seen in the 1860's, pretty much disappeared by the 1870's. I'll take a stab and date it 1868-70. It's a very nice image with lots of activity. I didn't look closely but if there are posts instead of bases they are playing the Massachusetts game. Nice little photo, but I don't think it's a card; it's a stereoview.
