Judson, Thanks that is good to hear about the Deegan family... I am going to research "fraternal club", I do not know why I did not think of that.
Thanks again Dan, Thanks... That has got to be it. Again, I do not know why I did not think of that. Sometimes when you try to read real deep into something, you miss what is staring you right in the face! A side note: Of the guys hats I can see, two have the letter "P" and two have the letter "L". ???

"FC" first and most immediately suggests "football club," meaning soccer -- the abbreviation is ubiquitous among soccer teams. The article Shawn posted mentions Keystone AA -- surely "Athletic Association." It was fairly common way back when for men's clubs, youth clubs, &c', to field teams in several sports, often with the same amateur athletes. Maybe this group was first formed as a soccer club, then dabbled successfully in baseball and perhaps other sports as well.

Lyceum photo
My first thoughts when looking at the photo was also that the FC stood for football club, but fraternal club makes sense too. The reason I thought football club (american football, but I guess soccer is possible as well), was that you can see alot of the players are wearing a long sleeve striped shirt with LYCEUM lettered on the front, under their baseball uniform that is lettered as well. I think this would be odd to wear two different lettered uniforms in layers. My thought was this organization had both football and baseball teams, and perhaps it was an early season cold weather game, so the players wore their football sweaters under their baseball uniforms. Just a guess on my part.

Thanks for the great input guys.
I to thought about the way the team is wearing two types of uniforms... But when I saw that the hats were different also, that made me think the team had separate uniforms perhaps for away games??? The dark hats have the letter "L" and the white hats have the letter "P". It certainly seems this team had some money backing them up? Also the two baseballs that are being held up by the two guys, appear to be black or dark in color? I am researching any football or soccer reference... Does 1906 seem like a valid date???

Dummy Deegan???
Also, I did find this info on Dummy Deegan.... Could it be? He was deaf and played MLB for one year in 1901. Here below is his stats for a Minor League team the "1907 Jersey City Skeeters".

I think F.C. stands for "Field Club"
Here is a sporting life article from 1907... Talks about Lyceums and refers to a Field Club.
 Sporting Life 1914 Talks about the Perth Amboy Team and Dick Hennessey.
