Frank Rooney 1914
Back-up first baseman for the Federal League Indianapolis Hoosiers at the start of the 1914 season.
As noted in the RMY lot description, this is not just a rare photo of an obscure player, it actually depicts him in the uniform of a failed outlaw league. He's shown with the 1913 Cleveland Green Sox of the Federal League (a team managed by Cy Young; a league so forgotten that this and another Green Sox image they sold last month are the only memorabilia I know of from the entire league).
