As far as I know, Lajoie is the only baseball player in history to have his entire team named after him: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_Indians

This one is dated July 12, 1915. Since his hair is messed up just the same way, it's safe to assume this was taken at the Polo Grounds at the same time as:

The A's played the Yankees there July 5, 6, 7 in 1915.

Pretty obviously retouched--perhaps he was photographed in his previous team's uniform? The visor of his cap looks to be original, judging from the shadow it casts.

@splaestro this photo was not retouched. It was taken in a era when real life and the illustrated one collided. It is best evidenced by a certain period piece by the name of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" In this documentary the two worlds collide for what some call 'High Hilarity'

@deneyterrio: Wow, that's deep.

I believe the photo was taken when he played New Bedford (New England) team. Before being traded to Detroit.
