O'Rourke
Did he have a son that was a minors mgr?
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. Andy

Young Joe Wood, handsome boy wonder, ca. 1908. Old Joe Wood, can't live forever, ca. 1984. Both images off the Web. This thread depresses me.

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.

I don't have a scan to share in this thread since the photo is not with me but I actually have a story that fits perfectly. When I was younger, I worked for a show promoter/agent who had many players appear at private signings and such. One signing I worked was that of Johnny VanderMeer's. We finished up around 6pm and I was off with Johnny to the airport for his flight out. Before leaving, I took a poloriod photo with Johnny and had him sign it. The next day, I heard the news... Johnny passed away. I often wonder if I took the last photo with him.
