Frank "Home Run" Baker

The Athletics' third baseman earned his nickname in the 1911 World Series with home runs in consecutive games off the Giants' Rube Marquard and Christy Mathewson. He led the American League in homers four straight years in the Deadball Era, when a dozen was a big season. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1955.
