Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"I didn't expect this when I took the field, and the first two guys hit bullets.I thought this might be a long night. But the guys made some good plays early on, and I kind of lucked out. About the sixth inning, the crowd started getting excited, and that's when it hit me I had a chance."- Scott Erickson

Honus Wagner became the first twentieth century 3,000 Hit Club member during the Dead Ball Era — and the first "un-debateable" member.
