If that's the case it would fit with being James O'Rourke who played in Boston from 1873-1875, and could not be John or Tom. There are no other O'Rourkes listed in baseball-almanac.com who played in the 1870s.

One last comparison with two earlier James O'Rourke photos - top left is 1873 and top right is 1874. Any opinions of this new comparison with these younger James H. O'Rourke photos? Are they the same person? All opinions welcome.
