Jack Clements 1884
This is a cleaned-up image from a Kalamazoo Bats Cigarettes premium card from 1887.
Clements, who as you see was a left-handed catcher, lasted from the one season of the Union Association (he broke in with the Philadelphia UA team in 1884) to the first season of the American League (he was traded to a minor league team during Spring Training in 1901).
Though Clements only played as many as 100 games in two of his 17 seasons, he produced seasons of 13 and 17 home runs (and four others of five or more), a career OPS of .769, an OPS+ of 117, and a 32.1 WAR.
