A Tale of 2 McDermotts

There are two Michael McDermott's, both pitchers, in baseball history and both from the 19th century. Coincidentally, both pitched for Louisville and also strange is that Baseball-Reference features the same photo for both of them.

I am of the belief that the Facepack image for Mike J. McDermott actually pictures Michael McDermott, who pitched briefly for Louisville in 1889 and was from Fall River. I've attached that image, plus a confirmed image of Mike J. McDermott (from the 1896 Louisville team photo) for comparison.
