Old Postcard ID help wanted

Does anyone here recognize this team? Logo appear to be a griffin or an Eagle with a B on the breast. Could be a town team or minor league team as they appear well dressed. Thanks in advanced.

It looks to me that the logo is the traditional Polish eagle. There used to be Polish Falcons organizations in every town that had a Polish community that sponsored baseball teams.

No idea what the "B" is for, but Buffalo, NY had a huge Polish population. Sorry I can't offer more than that.

Great Start to the mystery

They are a well dressed bunch so they probably had some kind of backing...

Nice image and a tidy group with sharp uniforms. I found some information that should be helpful. At first glance it does look like a B, but it is PS. If you zoom in you can see distinct serifs on the P and S. The letters were stitched by hand, so there is natural variation between each uniform. PS stands for Polish Seminary. Polish Seminary’s baseball team name was the Eagles. I found an image with the Polish Seminary band from 1915 and they appear to be on the same steps on the Orchard Lake, Michigan campus. I believe the seminary moved to Orchard Lake in 1909, so that would be the earliest date of your image.
