Uniform suggests this is 1913 or 1914. All the other years they are sporting caps with stripes:

1913


1914

I believe this predates 1914/15. This image is beautiful.. It was done by iconic cameraman Paul Thompson.

You're correct. Not sure what I was thinking but this was definitely shot at the Polo Grounds.

It might very well be this game right here. April 25, 1913. Opening Day for the Giants at the Polo Grounds. Pete tossed 11 innings and the game ended in a 0-0 tie:

The image is definitely at the Polo Grounds, and definitely pre-1914. I'd say opening day in 1913 could be a good bet.

Oh well, turns out I was looking at his game log, not the entire season. So, April 25 was definitely not Opening Day but it was the first game he appeared in that season.
