Amos Booth 1876?
UK, I tried some newspaper searches in 1886 for Seattle baseball and Booth, but had no luck. We really have no evidence that Amos Booth played west of the Mississippi. Just having the last name and no connection to Seattle leaves this as too speculative in my book to make it a firm identification, even if there is some resemblance between the two photos. Furthermore, he would have been Age 37 in 1886. He could have still been playing at the age, but not a lot of players do. And finally, the Booth in the Seattle photo was listed as an outfielder; Amos Booth was a catcher and infielder.
