Arguably the premier power hitter of the deadball era. Bill James estimated that Sam Crawford would have hit 494 career home runs if he had begun playing in 1919, the lively ball era, instead of 1899. Ty Cobb said that Sam Crawford would have hit 40 homers a year if he played in Ruth's era.

Chase signed with the Buffalo franchise of the newly formed Federal League in 1914. Charlie Comiskey was incensed that the upstart league would steal one of his players, and arrived at Chase's first game in Buffalo, lawyers in tow, with papers to serve to Chase barring him from participating in the game. Chase arrived at the game dressed as a woman, in "full feminine costume", in an attempt to elude Comiskey, and walked to an empty toolshed down the right field line! Chase changed into his uniform and made his way to the infield from the toolshed as the game began. Buffalo came to the plate in the top half of the first inning, even though they were the home team, in order to get Chase at least one appearance! Chase struck out, and was then removed from the game as Comsikey had obtained an injunction barring Chase from playing anywhere in the state of New York.
If you're interested in more, I highly recommend reading "Hal Chase: The Defiant Life and Turbulent Times of Baseball's Biggest Crook".
