He played a lot of games at shortstop and third base, which is unusual for a left-handed thrower. His minor league career ran from at least 1877-87. In 1885 he was suspended after going on a "spree", but reinstated on condition that he be totally abstinent the rest of the season. - bRef Bullpen wiki

actionjackson had seen some of these old (hated) placeholder faces in his Random Debut and I asked for a challenge. He picked Jack Leary as one for me to go hunt for and do. Fortunately, this past June, Chickazoola found Jack in an Augusta newspaper team photo associated with an article looking back on the 1885 team. That photo allowed me to try and reconstruct a facegen for him. I used the midjourney art AI and told it to use the newspaper photo as a starter but to make it a photo for me. After several iterations, I settled on the photo shown. Once I had that image as a facegen starting point I (as always) tried to sculpt a facegen based on the original file (the newspaper in this case). For those unaware of the midjourney AI tool, it's a blast as discussed on this thread...
