He (Honus Wagner) was the nearest thing to a perfect player no matter where his manager chose to play him.
There is but one game and that game is baseball.
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.
Get in front of the ball, you won't get hurt. That's what you've got a chest for, young man.
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.
