Texas Southern Leaguer Postcard?

Pick this up at a Local Shop just outside of San Antonio, Tx. Owner had it with his Sports Cardboard Products. He said that it was from 1905'ish and that it was of a Texas Minor League Baseball Club. Any thoughts! Familiar faces? The Gent in the Back Row Middle with the Mustach looks familiar, but I just can't remember or place him!

Dankz,

Time line is right. Undivided back puts it 1907 or before. Seems like an awful lot of players (22). Hard to imagine a minor league team with so many.

I believe, is a young John Cleese.

and I agree, -I would think this to be too many players for a minor league team of the time

As noted, the postcard is from the correct period. The question is who are pictured.

Thanks Gents! 22 for a Minor league team does seem to be a large amount, now that you mention it! Maybe a college football team with a young John Cleese Coaching... Would probably be a preety funny team to play against...
