Posted By: <b>Paul C.</b><p>A relative of mine played on the NY Highlanders for a very short time, from 8-15-1908 to 10-8-1908, and I'd like to find out if he is in the 1908 W601 NY A.L. Sporting Life team composite. His name is James 'Queenie' O'Rourke, and I'd love to find a picture of him from his short stint in the majors.<br>If anyone can confirm whether he is in this composite please let me know.<br>Even if he's not, it would still be neat to see this team composite.<br><br>I'm also looking for his 1911 T5 Pinkerton Cabinet. His name on that cabinet is 'Jimmie O'Rourke' and he played for Columbus that year. I've had no luck searching so far, but I'm hoping somebody out there has one and can post or email an image.<br><br>Any help is appreciated!<br><br>Paul C.<br>Pr0726@aol.com<br><br>

Posted By: <b>Paul C.</b><p>After his short stint with the Highlanders, Queenie played for Columbus from 1909 through 1912. He also played for St. Paul in 1913 and 1914. I found those teams in the Spalding & Reach Guides but the image quality is pretty poor. Are original team photos from these baseball guides available somewhere? <br>Attached are low res. images of the 1909 Columbus team & 1914 St. Paul teams from Spalding. I'd like to locate better copies of all his team pictures.<br><br><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1236014896.JPG" alt="[linked image]"> <br><br><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1236014922.JPG" alt="[linked image]"> <br><br>

Posted By: <b>Jason</b><p>I do not have a 1908, but this one is from Dec 21, 1907. You mentioned that you would like to see one. Please forgive the condition, I am not a big condition guy. I am new to this, hopefully it posts. If not, I can email you directly. Jasonhttp://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1236047653.JPG
