From wikipedia: "Judson A. Hyames (c. 1888 – August 19, 1949) was the head baseball coach at Western Michigan University from 1922 to 1936. In his 15 years at WMU, he posted a 166–62–2 record. In his honor, WMU's baseball stadium—Hyames Field—was named after him. He also played for the WMU baseball team in 1915. From 1937 to 1949, he served as the school's athletic director until his death.

Hyames was also an assistant football coach at the University of Michigan in 1926, under football coach Fielding H. Yost."

This would mean he was about 22 in 1910, which could fit. BTW, he not only had the lowest BA on the team, but he played in the fewest games--10. An anomoly for sure.
I think your on to something here.Im almost positive they are one in the same.So he appears to have gone on to some notoriety.My search did come upon HyamesField but with the level player he was I didn't connect the two and didn't look into that angle anymore.Thank you for sharing you knowledge on the subject.An anomaly for sure.
