For sure it's late 1880's Det NL, with mgr Bill Watkins (1885-1888). I don't have that exact same photo - but many faces match the photos I have. It should not be too hard to ID the players. It could very well be 1887. Of course they have nothing at all to do with the Detroit Tigers.

Jack Rowe - ? - Ned Hanlon - Ed Beatin
mid row:
Deacon White - ? - Dan Brouthers - Billy Shindle(maybe) - Sam Thompson - Charlie Ganzell - Lady Baldwin

Charlie Getzien - Larry Twitchell - Bill Watkins - Hardy Richardson - Charlie Bennett
