Need Help Identifying Really Old Baseball Postcard!

[VintageHoarder]

I have a very old postcard with nine players in uniform with a "C" symbol. Anyone have any idea what this is? Is this even a baseball team? Thanks for any help!

Here is the backside of the postcard. Has a place for a one-cent stamp.

Back is not showing up. Is there any more than "Roger" on the front?

Anyone else think that looks like Frank Grant seated on the left?

Back just reads postcard and has a place for one-cent stamp. Theres nothing else on the front that I could make out, other than the guy in the middle looking like Deacon McGwire. I did find a Roger Peckinpaugh who played for Cleveland Naps in 1910. McGwire was also their manager at that time

It definitely is a baseball team. It appears to be from 1901-7, which is the earliest period for real photo postcards. The pleated pants are turn-of-the-century era.

Any idea who it might be of? I've had others tell me it isnt baseball, which I didnt believe for a minute. I've noticed Chicago White Sox from 1901 and 1902 have the same or similar logo.
