No club that wins a pennant once is an outstanding club. One which bunches two pennants is a good club. But a team which can win three in a row really achieves greatness.

If I had to pick the greatest team player in baseball today-and I have some of the greats on my own club-I would have to pick Pie Traynor.

I name (Honus) 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 (Wagner) 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.

The team that gets off to a good start wins pennants.

The way to get a ball past (Honus) Wagner is to hit it eight feet over his head.

He (Honus Wagner) was the nearest thing to a perfect player no matter where his manager chose to play him.
