Napoléon Lajoie, also known as Larry Lajoie, was an American professional baseball second baseman who played 21 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB). Nicknamed "the Frenchman", he represented both Philadelphia franchises and the Cleveland Bronchos, which was renamed "the Naps" by fans after him, and which he led as its player-manager from 1905 through 1909.
