He played in the major leagues from 1908 to 1920.

Yes

291 RCAA

He outbichetted Dante Bichette. There were years in which he led the league in HR, but forgot to hit any outside of the Baker Bowl's 8 feet away fences. But, his adjusted to park stats are unfortunately too good to vote no.

short but brilliant peak from 1913-1919
he didn't have a long career, not really making it to the bigs until his 30s, but he was damned good

Brilliant short career. Might have been one of the 10-15 best hitters of the Dead Ball Era.
