Honus Wagner (February 24, 1874 - December 6, 1955) was a Major League Baseball shortstop for the Louisville Colonels (1897-1899) and Pittsburgh Pirates (1900-1917). A great player both offensively and defensively, Wagner played for 21 seasons and a total of 2787 games. In his career (1897-1917), he had 3430 hits in 10427 at-bats (.329 avg), 101 home runs, and 722 stolen bases.[1] He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1936. He is also known as the subject of what is considered to be the rarest and most valuable baseball card.[2]
