Wikipedia credits the source of the image as the 1889 Danville Browns, see post 28692 by cinemaodyssey. Extracted from a Library of Congress composite, of which a colorized version has been authored, unfortunately I am unable to credit the colorizer. The team was managed by Harry Smith. Harry Smith, debut 1877, is a missing player and was active playing for Louisville in the Majors in 1889. The middle initial of this Harry Smith does not match that believed to belong to the missing player. J. Fogerty appears to resemble prominent Major Leaguer Jim Fogarty. Baseball Reference lists him as Jack Fogarty, they were both born in San Francisco but 5 years apart identicating a potential family connection. Cinemaodyssey also identified the player listed as Root as Fred Roat.
