Ed Dugan
Pitcher Ed Dugan was the brother of Bill Dugan. He played 22 games for the Richmond Virginians of the American Association in 1884, then umpired one game in the same circuit in 1887. Ed's parents were immigrants from Ireland living in Brooklyn per census records. Ed and Bill formed a pitching battery when Ed was 19 and Bill, the Richmond catcher, was 22. Ed died in Brooklyn in 1895 at the age of 30. He was listed as a laborer, was single, and died of pulmonary phtisis. - bRef Bullpen wiki
All we had here to work with was this woodcutting. I tried to imagine, if I had described this person to a police sketch artist and gotten this result, who I'd have seen. I used the woodcutting for the facegen, applied a texture pack, found it too chiseled and modern-looking for a young 19th c. ballplayer and so smoothed it abit. I warped the chin and tried to align it and the other pieces as closely as I could to the sketch despite my instinct to normally fix such things. Not sure what the basis of the before was but I couldn't find an alternate picture anywhere. So, AESP, here's my stab at Bill's little brother... btw: I think we made the right call on there being no mustache. The more I look at his brother's mouth and actual mustache on your thread, I'm convinced the artist is extending the mouth and having shadows and textures elsewhere to define the cutting.
