Perhaps someone could identify him (maybe through process of elimination) in this picture?

This photo does show the Mutual Club, but not the 1873 Mutuals. These are the pre-Major League Mutuals, ca. 1869-70. The complete IDs are:
Back: Candy Nelson, Phonney Martin, Marty Swandell, Dave Eggler
Front: Everett Mills, John Hatfield, Charlie Mills, Rynie Wolters, Tom Patterson
Note that the site which was the source for the image above has a low-res copy of the same photo tagged "1870 NY Mutuals".
I've used four images from the team photo to upgrade the players pack:
Phonney Martin, Charlie Mills, Rynie Wolters and Tom Patterson
The Martin, Mills and Patterson images will also appear in the umpires pack.
