I remember I have a players album and one of the signed photos is of an O'Rourke, Jr. Mgr of '38 Centreville Colts (Phillies top club.) They are all pictured in Phillies hand-me-down uni's.
I can't remember if it is a Jim or Joe O'Rourke....
I'll have to dig it out.

James Henry O'Rourke did have a son James Stephen O'Rourke (different middle names so technically not a "Jr", although he was referred to as Junior or Queenie).
If you find and post the photo I should recognize whether it's James Stephen O'Rourke. I don't know a lot about his later years or whether he became a manager. I do know he lived in Sparrows Point, MD and worked for Bethlehem Steel. The company apparently financed a competitive team and guaranteed jobs for the players in the off season.
