Jackpot. September 14,1905 Pirates play an exhibition game against the Springfield Senators. Batting third for the Pirates that day, playing left field was "Koch". The newspaper covering the game says:
"Koch, a recruit coming from nobody-knows-where, played left field for Pittsburgh yesterday" So I followed that lead and found this on September 19 "It is rumored that "Koch" who has been tried by Pittsburgh is really Dutch Meier, an old Princeton player"

Please check out my books on baseball history. They include the bio of star second baseman Dots Miller. A book featuring 20 Moonlight Graham players who got into just one game. Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history. All five can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/stores/John-D...hor/B0DH87Q2DS
