THE PIRATES HONUS WAGNER BELATED BASEBALL BIRTHDAY QUOTE

Yesterday, I did not have a chance to post the birthday quote blog and rather than skip the day, I had to go back and recognize Honus Wagner. Wagner was born on February 24th, 1874. He is regarded as one of the all-around greatest ball players of all-time.

He was more than just the most valuable card in all of sports--he is a Hall of Famer with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Stats don't do his greatness justice though he had impressive ones including leading the NL in batting 8 times, rbi leader 6 time and finished his career with 3430 hits and a lifetime batting average of .329.

He is well deserving of the Baseball Birthday Quote of the Day,

"So uniformly good was Wagner as a player that it is almost impossible to determine whether his highest point of superiority was in his fielding, his batting average or his base running."
