Default Jim O'Rourke hit .250 at age 54 !!
Posted By: Hal Lewis

The HOF lists O'Rourke being born in 1850 in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

The 1860 census for Bridgeport, Connecticut has:

James O'Rourke, Age 10



Thus, the websites that list O'Rourke as being 52 when he got his hit in 190 are WRONG.

He was 54. He was older than Minoso.

He shall be vindicated!
