Jimmy O'Rourke

James Stephen "Queenie" O'Rourke (December 26, 1883 – December 22, 1955) was an American professional baseball player. He played in Major League Baseball for the New York Highlanders in 1908, primarily as a left fielder and shortstop.

Biography O'Rourke was the son of Baseball Hall of Fame inductee Jim O'Rouke; the father was often called "Orator Jim" with the son referred to as "Jimmy". His major league career consisted of 34 games for the 1908 New York Highlanders, during which he compiled a .231 batting average with three runs batted in. He started 28 games for New York: 13 in left field, 10 at shortstop, three at second base, and two at third base. While O'Rourke is listed on various baseball references sites under the nickname "Queenie", research by the Society for American Baseball Research indicates that the nickname was "historically contrived", as it was not known to be used during O'Rourke's career and only appeared after his death.
