Peter,
That is a possibility.
I've also dug up the following interesting factoids:
Three of Henry Reccius' brothers, John, Bill and Phil, were in baseball.
John Reccius was a pitcher/centerfielder for the Louisville Eclipse (American Association) in 1882 and 1883.
Bill Reccius was the founder and manager of the Louisville Eclipse in the 1870s.
Phil Reccius played for Louisville from 1882 - 1888, Cleveland in 1887 and Rochester in 1890, all in the Amer Assoc.
The Reccius brothers were childhood friends of Pete Browning and Jimmy "Chicken" Wolf.
Reccius Baseball Park was the home of the team (at least from 1906 - 1915), at the NW corner of Garland Ave and 28th Street.
