Find Honus Wagner in this photo

I am posting a picture of an 1890's cabinet card of a baseball team from Patterson, New Jersey. This item has the potential to have some of baseball's first great players. If you can help me spot any of these players that may be in this picture it would be greatly appreciated.

Mike Kelly (Around 30 years old)
James McCormick (Around 30 years) (Developed Curve Ball)
Edward Sylvester Nolan (Around 30 years old)
Honus Wagner (Around 15-20 years old)

Thanks guys.

    Could this auction for a 1896 Whitehead & Hoag Paterson Team Pin with Honus Wagner help? It's small, but below is an image of the pin and the photograph.

    I'll do some more digging.

    Based on age and ears I would say that Wagner is the 2nd person sitting on the left.

    I think the pin really illustrates the difference between a photo of a pro team and a local team. I really doubt the photo has any HOFers or even pros.

    Where do you think most pros got started? Local teams are where the minor leagues found their talent.
