    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.

[Harl Maggert, Philadelphia AL (baseball)] (LOC)

    Another interesting player from the "dead ball era." He played almost all of his major league career in one season, for the 1912 Philadelphia Athletics. He led the Pacific Coast League in runs in 1913 (128), 1914 (127), 1915 (147), and 1919 (127). Also led the PCL in 3B in 1913 (23) and 1915 (14), and hit 20 3B in 1914 to finish one behind the leaders. Maggert (senior) was considered "temperamental" and "difficult toward managers". It was his acceptance of $300 from Babe Borton that led to the investigation into the allegation of games being thrown in the PCL. Received lifetime ban in 1920. source: www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Harl_Maggert_(maggeha01) Of interest, his son, also named Harl Maggert, also played all his major league career in one season, for the 1938 Boston Bees, managed by Casey Stengel.
