Honus Wagner

Honus Wagner, nicknamed the Flying Dutchman, was an American shortstop who played 21 seasons in Major League Baseball between 1897 and 1917, most of them with the Pittsburgh Pirates after starting with the Louisville Colonels. He was a versatile defender who played every position except pitcher and catcher, and he won a joint-record eight National League batting titles. He appeared in the first World Series in 1903 and helped the Pirates win the title in 1909. He is widely regarded as the greatest shortstop of all time and was one of the first five members inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1936.
