    "Walter Clement Pipp (February 17, 1893 – January 11, 1965) was an American first baseman in Major League Baseball, now best remembered as the man who lost his starting role to Lou Gehrig at the beginning of Gehrig's streak of 2,130 consecutive games." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wally_Pipp 1915 was the first of his 10 seasons with the Yankees. Charlie Mullen, "Charles George Mullen (March 15, 1889 – June 6, 1963)", played for the Yankees 1914-1916. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Mullen LOC, caption information lists "Mullin" as playing for the Federal League , probably confusing him with George Mullin, pitcher for the Newark Pepper of the newly formed league. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Mullin_(baseball)
