??? Is this post somehow offensive?

My first thought was that it looked like a Philadelphia A's uniform, then when you said the uni was generic, I thought it was Thorpe. A couple posts down, someone else concurs. That's my guess, the features are very sharp and distinguished.

I thought it looked exactly like Hal Chase, which is why I was surprised there were no responses.

This illustration is from a book entitled "Sports and Pastimes " copyright 1914,1927. The caption reads "A sure hitter, An idol of the fans". It is followed by numerous photos including Baker in an A's uniform and
Thorpe but none of the photos are identified ! Not sure why; maybe dodging royalties ? That does look like an A's uniform.
