Giving Carl some W514 love, because he apparently had no love for others (and probably none for himself).

Here's my 5x7 Conlon contact print of Carl Mays. He looks very young here so wouldn't be surprised if this is 1915, his first season in the major leagues.

SABR had a book available a few years back By Mike Sowell entitled The Pitch That Killed: The Story of Carl Mays, Ray Chapman, and the Pennant Race of 1920
I don't see it there now but I think they only have them available as previews for a limited time. But if you can locate it it's worth the time. I found it thoroughly researched and very well written.

I don't think Chapman had one, but here is an m114 for Mays.

Progressive Field Plaque
I took a pic of the Ray Chapman plaque the last time I was at Progressive Field.
This is part of the Heritage Park exhibit with a plaque for each member of the Cleveland Indians Hall of Fame. The Ray Chapman plaque is prominent but sorrowful in comparison to the others. Heritage Park is definitely worth a visit if you ever get a chance to catch a game in Cleveland.
