Can't speak to its pedigree - I don't know a Type 1 from a hot rock - but I can tell you that is a University of Iowa team, probably 1907. The same picture can be found in the 1908 Hawkeye yearbook with verbiage that primarily refers to the 1907 season. The book was probably printed before the 1908 baseball season began. I have seen old yearbooks that sometimes are a couple of years out-of-date as regards team photos but the references to the season "last year" trump that, so the "1906" note is a stumper. None of the foregoing probably made much sense but my best guess is 1907 U of Iowa varsity baseball team.
