      Napoléon "Nap" Lajoie (/ˈlæʒəweɪ/; September 5, 1874 – February 7, 1959), also known as Larry Lajoie and nicknamed "The Frenchman", was an American professional baseball second baseman and player-manager. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Philadelphia Phillies, Philadelphia Athletics (twice), and Cleveland Naps between 1896 and 1916. He managed the Naps from 1905 through 1909.

      In the 1915 season, Hall of Famer Lajoie was 40, near the end of his storied career and playing for the Philadelphia Athletics. This is presumably taken at the Polo Grounds before a game with the Yankees.
