Honus "The Flying Dutchman" Wagner appeared in some of the most legendary pictures ever taken. From his infamous T206 Tobacco Card to the unique grip he had on the bat.

"I name Wagner first on my list, not only because he was a great batting champion and base-runner, and also baseball's foremost shortstop - but because Honus could have been first at any other position, with the possible exception of pitcher. In all my career, I never saw such a versatile player." - John McGraw in The Sporting News (December 6, 1955)

On July 29, 1915, Honus Wagner, who was forty-one (41) years old, hit a grand slam in the eighth (8th) inning off Brooklyn Dodger Big Jeff Pfeffer and became the oldest player to hit a bases loaded home run. The record would stand until Tony Perez hit one on May 13, 1985 — one day short of his forty-third (43rd) birthday.

Did you know that on July 19, 1897, Honus Wagner made his major league debut and had his first hit and stolen base during his first game?

On March 16, 1908, Honus Wagner announced he was going to retire (again). Wagner did not retire and finished the season leading in nine (9) major stats (click to review 1908 season) and missed winning a triple crown by two (2) home runs.
