Скачать или смотреть Honus Wagner - Baseball Hall of Fame Biographies

One of the Hall of Fame's five original inductees in 1936, Honus Wagner combined rare offensive and defensive excellence throughout a 21-year career. Despite his awkward appearance -- stocky, barrel-chested and bow-legged -- the longtime Pirates shortstop broke into the big leagues by hitting .335 in 1897 with Louisville, the first of 17 consecutive seasons of hitting .299 or better, including eight as the National League batting champion. Wagner compiled a lifetime average of .328, and the Flying Dutchman also stole 723 bases, while leading the league in thefts on five occasions.
