pre 1900s baseball team photo, looking for information
I found this photo in a stack of family documents. Of all the men I know one of them is my Great Great Grandfather, Leonard Henry Staubly. He was an army man in the 1890s and was stationed out Fort Mckinney in the town of Buffalo, Wyoming. I recently contacted the town historian about baseball records from the 1890s and she provided me with one, but no team photos to go off of. But Apart from that I am unsure of anything about the photo. There has been some theories put forward that the photo is actually from Buffalo county New York, and I know that my relative in the photo did live in that county, or nearby, in the same decade he was stationed in Wyoming.
I emailed the Baseball Hall of Fame, but never got word back from them https://imgur.com/a/45NPxaU

Nice photo. Protoball lists an 1888 baseball game between a team from Big Horn and Fort McKinney. It also references a box score. A good starting point.
Personally I think very likely it is Buffalo Wyoming, based upon Protoball report, his army service, service cap on the mascot etc. I think your photo also dates from that time period.

Highly unlikely it is from Buffalo, NY since the words 'Champions of Wyoming' are written on the bottom.
