What a gem! I would be most interested in knowing your source, no problem if you don't wish to share.

Yes, I agree with the observation about the software not always enhancing, but that does seem to be more uncommon.

Here is an image of George Harper, I had to extract it from the Cincinnati Reds team photo of 1924 as I could not find an alternative for that year. Be most grateful if an improved option was used.

With a career batting average of .303 and an OPS of .836 Harper was an accomplished outfielder. Hit the majors with Detroit in 1916 and spent 3 years with the Tigers as a back-up. That outfield being illuminated with Cobb, Heilmann and Veach. Returned to the Majors in 1922 after a 4 year gap with the Reds and established himself as the starting right-fielder and clean-up hitter.

Began the 1924 season with the Reds but spent most of the season as the Phillies starting right-fielder normally batting second.

In all was the normal starting outfielder with 5 different National League teams, which must be close to a record. Earning that capacity also with the Giants, Cardinals and finally the Braves.
