Default Heinie Stafford

About a week ago I picked up a 1911 Oneonta baseball team RPPC. I did so because I believe it contains an image of Heinie Stafford, a star player at Tufts, who made the majors with the Giants in 1916 and played in only one game, pinch hitting and making the last out in the last game of the year. After that game he quit baseball to begin a career in business. Stafford, along with many collegiate stars, spent their summers playing in the Adirondacks. In the summer of 1911 he played for Oneonta. The team picture has names written next to all of the players. One player has "Staff" written next to him. I believe that is Stafford. I would be interested in others thoughts on this. If as I believe it is Stafford then, for anyone trying to get an image of everyone who ever played in the majors, this would have to be the holy grail.
