Thanks, The only clue I can give, was that the photographer was in the Flint, Michigan area at the time. The hat almost looks like an old English "D", but hard to tell.

Only 3 of the uniformed players have the white striped hat with the D on it, the other 3 have a different hat.

I have been searching for teams with a nickname that started with a "p", but concentrating on a possible letter on the hat as a "d" or a "B".
When I first looked at the uniform, along with the hat, the 1910 Phillies had an away and a home hat. One was white with the letter, the other was dark, but no letter appeared on the hat. Identical to the photo. So I thought, maybe they were the Phillys, but with a practice uniform, but as Mark pointed out, they did not have collars after 1908. Beside, why would an umpire be there for practice. So, not the Phillys. I will go back and concentrate on the letter on the hat as possibly being a "P". Again, the only clue was, the photographer, was living in Flint, Michigan at the time, of this photo, as his stamp is on the back, with a Flint, Michigan location, but no date given.

Billyb,
Have you ever thought about this being a photo of a company team? Flint was home to some auto companies back then and maybe they sponsored teams. On Google, the Wikipedia page of Flint Automotive Industry says that Durant-Dort was one of the largest carriage makers in the country beginning in the late 1880's. They later broke apart and started making their own autos. Dort started in 1915 and Durant in 1921. Buick started making cars in about 1903. GM started making cars there in the 1920's. Looking up Flint baseball teams, Baseball Reference.com says that Flint had some Minor League teams as far back as 1889. Hope this helps, David

Ctown,
I have thought of that, but only Durant team I found so far was based out of Oklahoma. But thank you for your input. I am still searching, now at work, so cannot search too hard............on the sly sort of.
