Farmer Steelman 1899
Don't be fooled by the caption, which appears to have been a joke in the Philadelphia Inquirer. The photo accompanied a sports article that described the debut of Morris "Farmer" Steelman from southern New Jersey with the Philadelphia Athletics in August 1901. Steelman had previously played for Louisville in 1899 and Brooklyn in 1900 and 1901.
