One percent of ballplayers are leaders of men. The other 99 percent are followers of women.

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

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.

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.

One small breeze doesn't make a wind storm.

There is but one game and that game is baseball.
