It's Clark Griffith depicted, with the caption of "Foxey Griff".

Here's the brief version of his bio...

Clark Calvin Griffith (November 20, 1869 – October 27, 1955, nicknamed "The Old Fox", was an American Major League Baseball pitcher, manager and team owner. He began his MLB playing career with the St. Louis Browns (1891), Boston Reds (1891), and Chicago Colts/Orphans (1893–1900). He then served as player-manager for the Chicago White Stockings (1901–1902) and New York Highlanders (1903–1907).

He retired after the 1907 season, remaining manager of the Highlanders in 1908. He managed the Cincinnati Reds (1909–1911) and Washington Senators (1912–1920), making some appearances as a player with both teams. He owned the Senators from 1920 until his death in 1955.

Griffith was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1946.

Sorry that's all I have time to post... work is hell.
