Honus Wagner | Greatest hitter the National League has ever had

Honus Wagner, known as “The Flying Dutchman” was perhaps the greatest shortstop in Major League history. He played almost his entire 21-season career, spanning from 1897 to 1917, with the Pirates. Wagner hit at least .300 in 16 seasons, including 14 in a row in which he hit at least .320. He was an 8-time batting champion, and his 3,420 career hits ranks # 8 on the all-time list. Wagner also ranks # 10 all-time in stolen bases, with 723 for his career. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1936.
