Agree with Dan... mid 1890s, based on uniform style and the pre-weld spider mask. Neat photo! |

Those jerseys that tie all the way down to nearly the waist were common in the 1890's. Many photos of Ed Delahanty, taken circa 1895, show him wearing that style jersey. |

The catchers mask is a give away as well (mid 1890s) agree with the above |

You guys nailed it! An Indiana University curator just got back to me and confirmed that it is an Indiana U photo, and dated it to 1893 for me. It turns out one of the non-uniformed guys in the back row is Charles Jacob Sembower, who was a shortstop in the early 1890's, then a long term faculty member, and who IU's current baseball field is named after. |
