July 1903: Who is Danny Green?

The top vote-getter in the first AHBL All-Star Game was a player I was not familiar with: Danny Green. The right-fielder for the Cambridge Schooners has spent much of the season leading all of baseball in RBI. He actually does not seem to have a bio with SABR, which is rare for the early stars of the 20th Century. Sounds like an arm injury in early 1906 basically ended his career.
Sadly, Wikipedia reports that "Green died in Camden, New Jersey just three days after his 38th birthday. While Green's family always insisted he died of complications from a beaning, the book, Death At the Ballpark reveals Green most likely died from complications of syphilis."
