Great photo Gary. Ideas on date and players? They almost look like cricketers.

Leon-The baseball CdV was in the album pictured on this post. The album contained many Civil War era images as well. The baseball CdV is dated 1867 at the top. The players names are listed at the bottom and the picture was taken in Sante Fe, New Mexico. This is the earliest baseball CdV I have ever seen from west of the Mississippi. I have been in contact with the the New Mexico Historical Society, as well as other New Mexico organizations, regarding the image. Researching it is still a work in progress, but I believe the image will end up in some New Mexico historical publication eventually. The fact that there was a baseball team in the New Mexico Territory in 1867 amazes me. I also have a baseball CdV taken in the Dakota Territory, but it is from about 1880.

There is no writing on the reverse. The front has the year "1867" written at the top and the names of the players on the bottom: Keiting,Watts,Thacher.
