When did he die? Was it after 1919 and not in 1888?

This article, and Baseball Reference, list a death date for him in 1888, but I've seen a picture of him riding in an automobile at the 1919 World Series with the Cincinnati Reds celebrating the surviving players from the city's first professional team.

Here you can see Cal McVey, Oak Taylor, and George Wright in a photo:

And here is a banquet program from the same year, signed by these three players:

Yet this article claims that he died at the young age of 37 of a lung ailment, and that he had been playing for the San Francisco Pioneers:

Could one or the other have been an impostor? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mark Yaima (talk • contribs) 12:33, 5 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
