      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.
