A well earned nickname, based largely on hitting some key dingers in the 1911 World Series.

Baker was kind of the Reggie Jackson of his day, coming up big in clutch games and post season play

A genuine power hitter for his era, and one of the best pre-1920 players. Probably the best third baseman of his era, and arguably in the top 10 at that position all-time.

  A great hitter, fielder, clutch player, and arguably the best all around American League third baseman  of the first half of the 20th century. There was a marginal player of the same name - Frank "No Home Run" Baker-in the  early 1970's, but he was about as good of a ballplayer as, well, a hypothetical hair metal band's version of "The Windmills of Your Mind," the theme from the movie "The Thomas Crown Affair, by Numbah and his lightsaber Wielding Friends would be as a song...( j.k.)

A five rating only because it's so ironic in this day and age. I've hit more major league homeruns than this guy :)

In the pre-WWI/pre-Babe Ruth eras, he was the most prolific home run hitter of his time. Not so much the volume (the most in a season was 12) but his home runs tended to win or tie games late. He hit fewer than 100 home runs in a 12 year career. When 12 home runs seemed like a lot in a season, it made Ruth's 60 in 1927 seem incredible, a record nobody could ever touch.
