Player Biography
The batter who slashed the National League’s first hit, Jim O’Rourke played the game professionally past the age of 50 before continuing his baseball life as a manager, umpire and minor league president. Explaining his longevity, O’Rourke said, “I lived a clean life. I never touched liquor in any form, nor did I ever use tobacco. I always took care of myself. That’s the reason I’m playing ball today, and that is the reason why I can enjoy the game.” Nicknamed “Orator Jim” because of a tendency toward lengthy rhetoric, O’Rourke captured the N.L. batting title in 1884 with a .350 average.
