Andrew H. "Jap" Payne (December 6, 1879 – August 22, 1942) was a baseball player in the Negro Leagues. He played multiple positions, including outfield and infield.
Standing at 5-foot-10 inches, Payne was described as "unimposing," but he became known for slapping line drives past infielders, as well as having an excellent arm.[4][5]
Payne was rumored to have gotten the nickname "Jap" due to his slanted eyes.
In August, 1907, Payne lost his temper and attacked an umpire, causing a near-riot, and his language occasionally forced umpires to throw him out of games.[4]
Sportswriter and fellow player Jimmy Smith put Payne on his 1909 "All American Team."[6]
In 1953, Hall of Famer Pop Lloyd named Payne as the right fielder on his all-time team.[5][7]
