A right handed pitcher, he represented the Braves in just 1 game in 1922. B-R lists his only appearance as a complete game but he only pitched 7 innings, does that indicate the game was abandoned for inclement weather or more likely darkness? He only gave up one earned run but the game is recorded as a 3-0 loss to the Giants. The game was played on the tail end of a double hitter on 1st October and was the final game of their season. Another oddity was that he gave up a home run to Mahlon Higbee, Higbee's only career home run, yet Higbee never played in the Major Leagues again.
Yeargin returned to the Braves in 1924, his final season, and posted a 1-11 record from 12 starts. He pitched 141 plus innings over 32 appearances including 6 complete games.

James Almond Yeargin colorized with the Boston Braves. This image was a bit of a challenge. As Infield Fly has mentioned on occasion with these AI influenced efforts, the verisimilitude of the image as being an accurate depiction of its subject comes into question the more the image is upscaled. In this case, I ran the image through Pica.AI once and then through deepnostalgia twice. I deployed both Palette.fm and kolorize.cc and wasn't sure which one I liked better. The Palette is the first colorized image, kolorize second.
