1888 Omaha Omahogs

[bmarlowe1]

Below far left is cropped from Cliftons8's photo.

2nd from left is the baseball-reference.com image identified as Jimmy Cooney. It is the exact same image. That's good, but not enough because there are a fair number of photo errors at baseball-reference, and they refuse to correct any of them (e.g., if you look up Roscoe Miller, you will see a nice photo of Dummy Taylor). That said, the vast majority of their images are of course correct.

3rd from the left is Cooney cropped from a crudely drawn 1889 Omahogs team head-shot composite. It seems very likey that it was derived from Clifton8's photo. The striped jersey also matches. Also Jim Canavan, Kid Nichols, and Joe Walsh are all wearing the same (or similar) type of jersey in their 1889 Omaha OJ card photos.

4th from the left is Cooney from the Oshkosh team photo. As best as I can tell it matches Clifton8's photo.

As for Cooney's OJ cards - in the resolution available to me, I think they are OK, but if anyone owns a clear sharp card and is willing to share a very hi-res scan, we can take a closer look.
