N693 Boston Team Card Player Identification Help

[Brailey]

I'm interested in positively identifying the players in the N693 1887 Boston B.B.C. team card. Here is who I think I've identified so far (and so many have mustaches I could easily be wrong):

Top Row (left to right): Kid Madden, ?????, Jack Burdock, Dick Conway, Billy Nash, Bill Stemmeyer, Old Hoss Radbourn

Bottom Row (left to right): Sam Wise, ?????, King Kelly, John Morrill, ?????

Other player possibilities could be Ezra Sutton, Dick Johnston, Joe Hornung, Tom O'Rourke, Pop Tate, Con Daley, Other???

Has anyone already researched this and if so can you help me? Any educated guesses?

Thanks,
Mike Brailey

The quality of the image is not too good, but I am reasonably confident of these. I agree with most of what you said, but Burdock is Ezra Sutton, and Stemmeyer is more likely Bobby Wheelock. I have

Kid Madden - Tom O'Rourke - Ezra Sutton - Dick Conway - Billy Nash - Bobby Wheelock (possibly) - Hoss Radbourne

Sam Wise - Dick Johnston - King Kelly - John Morrill - Pop Tate (likely)

Thanks Mark!
I think you're right on with Dick Johnston and probably Bobby Wheelock and Tom O'Rourke but I'm still having a hard time with top row third from left (Ezra Sutton or Jack Burdock) and bottom row far right (Pop Tate). Pop Tate was born in 1860 which would have made him 26 or 27 at the time of the picture and I think that guy seated is much older. I'm also having a hard time connecting the photos I have of Ezra Sutton with the face shown on the card.

Mike - as to Sutton, see comparison below to two photos of Sutton. Face from your photo is on the left. Though it's not very clear, note that the guys ears stick out a lot, Burdock's ears did not.

As to Pop Tate, given the extrreme lack of detail, I don't think one can determine very much about age. Any of these guys could be 20 or 40. I think he compares well to the photo of Tate on the right.

I see your point on Sutton. Ears look odd and identical. Nose looks similar too.

I'm not totally sold on Tate yet either but I'll keep trying to verify.

Thanks for your inputs.
