Does this look like a baseball tintype to you?

I love old baseball tintypes. I am trying to understand how this is baseball players? By the baseball bag that can't be seen, as stated? I have my own idea, and it involves Elsie. ......but maybe I don't see Joe Jackson or something...

So you are thinking they are milkmen? LOL

I don't see anything that directly links it to baseball, but am no expert on 1800s baseball. Lots of people here are so hopefully others will weigh in.

I think it's comes down to people see what they want to see. The dude on the bottom far left has his arm on somethings. Looks like a milk jug hahah . I find hard to belive that these are ball players dressed in all white with ties . There is no sign of a bat or glove. That looks like a small person on the bottom left to me. But he probably didn't listen to his mother when she told him to drink his milk. So he started a milk gang. Just my guess.

There was a street cleaning crew in New York City called I think the White Ducks started by Teddy Roosevelt presidency.

LMAO.....small world.

ps...yes, they look sort of like milkmen to me but it's probably too early for them.
