Need help identifying this

Doubtful to be the Tacoma team, they only played two seasons 1923 & 1924. Here's an image of Babe Ruth & Bob Meusel in Tacoma playing an all-star aggregate from the Tacoma Industrial League. No members of the 1924 Skidoos on the team:

Way too many references to the popular phrase to narrow it down. With only eight players as Frank noted it's likely a very small town team. There was a mining community, now ghost town in Death Valley, once named "23 Skidoo" founded in 1907. Closer to LA and timeframe given by those much more knowledgeable on such things., but these are hunches. I can say for certain the man on the right reminds me of mouschi's profile pic. Good luck Scubadad.

It's a Cyanotype most likely produced between 1905 and 1910 . I agree the image could be from an earlier photo .

Maybe it is my great great grandfather!

That image is not from 1910 to 20 S. It is from the 1890 s lace up front gloves add up to that time period.

Just to add credence to the earlier dates:

Regarding usage of the phrase 23 skiddoo:

"its heyday was really the first decade of the century; by the 1920s it was already rather passé."

With the lace up front and quilted pants definitely 1890 is no later than 1900
