Default will the real Hal Chase please stand up?

Posted By: Marty Ogelvie

I found 2 mentions of Harold Harris Chase;

1 was from the website chaseplace.iwarp.com which is a very nice site about the former player..

"Harold Harris Chase was born in Los Gatos, California on February 13, 1883; the youngest of six children. "

The 2nd is a book;
» Chase, Harold Harris "Hal," "Prince Hal" by King, Joseph E.
 
Book Section from Biographical Dictionary of American Sports: Baseball -- p. 89, 2 page(s)
New York: Greenwood Press, 1987
Stats: Player Career Stats, Bio Stats Photos: n
Bibliography? y Footnotes/Sourcenotes? n
Named people: Hal Chase
Topics: Biographies; Gambling; Controversies

Perhaps Hal did not like the name Harris and opted to use Homer instead... Homer Simpson would be proud, not sure any one else would...
