David Lewis (Dave) Fultz (May 29, 1875 - October 29, 1959) was a center fielder in Major League Baseball who played in the National League with the Philadelphia Phillies (1898-1899[start]) and Baltimore Orioles (1899[end]), and for the Philadelphia Athletics (1901-1902) and New York Highlanders (1903-1905) of the American League. He batted and threw right-handed. In a seven-season career, Fultz posted a .271 batting average with 223 RBI and three home runs in 644 games played. In 1912, he created a furor in baseball by unionizing major league players in an organization called the Players Fraternity. Ty Cobb and Christy Mathewson were among its officers. The group threatened to strike in 1917, but the walkout was averted after Fultz obtained some concessions for the players. The union was disintegrated during World War I. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Fultz

I would never have thought him to be a baseball player from the photo. I would have guessed he was a doctor, lawyer or banker. So distinguished looking.

He WAS a lawyer.
