I found Johnny "Jack" Lavin pictured with the famous 1882 Leadville Blues semi-pro team. The team photo was printed in the 12/5/1927 edition of the San Antonio Express-News and features a number of obscure major leaguers. Lavin played most of 1882 as a competitor of Leadville, later joining them in some post-season barnstorming. He joined a bunch of his teammates in playing for the Bay City, Michigan team the following season where he transitioned from pitching to the outfield.
