Bruce, thanks for posting. Great research and a very interesting story. I will pass on further comment about his death on the honeymoon.

Great work, Bruce. I once owned a copy of the Bush/McClure cdv. What team was Bush on when this was taken? McClure was on the Nationals of Albany.

Gary, even though Bush also played for the Nationals and Knickerbockers with McClure, he entered Phillips Andover a year ahead of his cousin James. Bush played for Phillips from 1865-66, and James played in 1866. I believe that Bush is in the Phillips Andover uniform in the cdv. In the auctions McClure was correctly identified, but Bush was id’d as Phillips, due to a pencil marking on the back. That was a misinterpretation as I think Phillips referred to the Academy.
The Id of Bush comes directly from a 1923 Phillips Academy history., and from a more recent, 1983 book on athletics at Phillips. I have a longer version of this that is just handwritten, but I am too lazy to type it all and I hate typing. I am looking for the 1867 Harvard team which I know you once had and the 1871 team and any other Bush related things or images.

Bruce- I had the 1866 Harvard team cdv. Here is a scan of the reverse. It doesn't list Bush as one of the players. The 1867 Harvard team cdv is the cover photograph for Mark Rucker's cdv book. Bush is not identified in that image in Mark's book either?

Gary, he started in 1867 and played that fall. In fact it was October 1867 that Cummings used his first curve against Bush. I like the 1867 image, but you are right, he won’t appear in the team photo until 1868 photo. I have an 1875 book that contains a large number of box scores from 1865 to 1874 , including against professional teams. Bush’s stats are amazing, mostly from the catcher’s position.
