Help with dating this photo

[dmb71vw]

I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me put a date on this photo. My family believes it is my great grandfather. Being a huge baseball fan this photo is so cool. It is about the size of a baseball card and really has the looks like one. My dad's aunt is still around but she is not in a great frame of mind to help. We are just trying to figure out when this could have been taken and in turn figure out how old he is in the photo. Thank you.

Based on the pants, I am guessing turn of the century or older. I found this info on baseball-almanac.com

"Built-in protective padding was a standard part of ninteenth century baseball pants and this ‘quilting” survived on a few of the post-1900 uniforms. Separate sliding pads on the inside soon became the preferred choice. Belts were considerably wider and were furnished in a variety of colors and materials. Belt tunnels on the sides came into being after 1900 and are a standard feature even on many of today’s double-knits. Piping down the sides of the trousers existed in the early 1900’s, even before piping became a popular jersey trim feature. Considering the tailoring differences between the old, baggy flannels and the closer fitting double-knits of today, the basic “knickers” concept has really changed very little since 1900."

He was born in 1894 so that kind os doesn't fit.

Sorry Dan, I forgot to say thank you for finding that info.

It does say post 1900 but I wonder how long after 1900.
