I am the great-great granddaughter of James Henry O'Rourke. I just happened to stumble across the Net54baseball website while googling my great great grandfather. I read your post, but I was unable to see the picture you posted. If you wouldn't mind posting it again, I would love to see it. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Nannette
Hi Nannette, glad you discovered this site. Everyone here is very helpful.

Default Updated List
It's been a few years, so here is the current list of O'Rourke images still needed.

TEAM and / or O'Rourke INDIVIDUAL picture from:
1872 Middletown Mansfields (CT)
1880 Boston Red Caps. James & his brother John played on the same team and are probably in the same team photo.
1881 Buffalo Bisons
1883 Buffalo Bisons
1884 Buffalo Bisons
1887 New York Giants
1891 New York Giants
1893 Washington Senators

1897-1910 Bridgeport (except for 1906 - Thanks Brian)

CARDS
1886 New York Baseball Club (H812).
1887 Gypsy Queen (N175), Fielding
1888-1889 OJ Cabinet (N173), throwing, hand head-high
1887-1890 Old Judge (N172) Batting, 3d B., New Yorks.

Jimmie O'Rourke cards (son of Orator James O'Rourke):
1911 T5 Pinkerton Cabinet
1908 NY Highlanders photo including Jimmie. He played in the majors only from 8-15-1908 to 10-8-1908.

Any help is much appreciated!
Paul C.

Here is O'Rourke's game used bat -- has his name stamped on both the knob and the other end, and is sidewritten with his full name.

Many thanks to everyone who posted. Great bat Greg and nice photo Brian. I've never seen either of those before. If anyone has other O'Rourke photos, memorabilia, etc., please post them. I appreciate it!

Are there any bat experts out there who could estimate the time period of the bat posted above? Greg informed me that the sidewriting can no longer be seen (it's just too light), and that there is no center label.
