Comparison of unknown "1870s" player identified as James O'Rourke by HOF and REA (top left), and actual photos of John (1879 - top right) and James (1877 - bottom left, and 1878 bottom right)
Any chance James or John is the unidentified player?
Can both be ruled out by this comparison?
Maybe it's just a younger looking Jim from 1874-1875 when he also played on Boston? There do appear to be similarities.
The only other O'Rourke who played for Boston during that time period that I know of was Tom (1887-1888), but I don't have a good resolution image of him for comparison. Would 1887-1888 be too late for the cdv in question?
