Here is a colorful Cigar box label (circa 1905 - 1909) of Harry Pulliam in his "dapper duds".….. if that helps any.

Could it be Charles Ebbetts standing in the bottom row (2nd from the right in white hat) ???

Brooklyn's opponent Opening Day 1908 was Boston, owed by George and John Dovey. Here are images of Charles Ebbetts, George Dovey and John Dovey.

I looked at those three also, Corey. I don't think there's anything definitive. The two short guys in the front row sure look similar enough to be related.
The heavy guy top row left looks very familiar, too.

Checked Athletic Sports and Spink sportswriter section without anything jumping out. Sorry.

Edward J. McKeever and Stephen McKeever (half owners with Charles Ebbets of the Brooklyn Superbas….circa 1908) are pictured in this photo.
I believe Edward McKeever is the gentleman on the bottom right (2nd from end) and to his left is his brother Stephen.

Thanks Ted. If that is correct, I think it is a good bet the image is of Opening Day 1908 at Brooklyn. I think the Ebbets ID looks good, as does the Pulliam. It makes sense Chadwick would be there, as well offers a good explanation why the photo remained in the family's possession.

Thank you too everybody else who commented. I have had this image for some time, and had often wondered what it depicted. The people on this forum are incredibly knowledgeable and very generous in sharing their knowledge.
