Default Jim O'Rourke hit .250 at age 54 !!
Posted By: Frank Evanov

McGraw did his old pal O'Rourke a favor and let him catch the first game of a double-header on Sept. 21, 1904. It turns out that the game was the Pennant clincher for the Giants.

O'Rourke is also credited with the first base hit in the National League!

[Amos Rusie won his 197th game by age 25!]
