True about Honus Wagner, that he was one of the all-time great players. But I doubt there’s a soul alive today who watched him in his prime. He played in the era of the dead ball. Until he was 29, he played mostly outfield. And whereas later shortstops typically mirror 2nd-basemen and play well behind the bag, shortstops of his era often came charging in to grab a dead ball.
...also, Wagner led the league in slugging percentage three times with four or fewer home runs each time.
