Harry Arndt 1902 (Baltimore uniform)

Arndt had begun his major league career with the Tigers in the summer of 1902, but was lent to the Baltimore Orioles after they had been stripped of most of their best players by NL owners and left with an insufficient roster to field a team. (The American League quickly took control of the franchise.)

Arndt remained with the Orioles for the rest of the season, appearing in 68 games in multiple positions. He was sent back to Detroit after the end of the season, but did not reappear in the major leagues until 1905, when he was a member of the Cardinals. There is an excellent Carl Horner portrait of him in a St. Louis uniform (see post# 32526 in this thread), but this image from the Baltimore Herald dated July 19th, 1902, shows him in the Orioles' home uniform.
