Talk:Honus Wagner

I remember reading a wonderful story that Honus used to tell about baseball in the 1890's. If anyone can find the quote, it would be fun to put it in as part of the article. The gist went something like this: "The 1890's were a tough time. I remember when once we played the Baltimore Orioles. I hit a ball that should have been a home run, but when I got to first base, Dirty Jack Doyle tripped me. I got up, ran to second, and shorstop Hughie Jennings slugged me and knocked me cold. I managed to get up again, and ran to third, and there was John McGraw holding a gun, saying "You stop right here!" Of course that story isn't true, but it certainly gives the flavor of what it was like to break in during the 1890's and play against the Orioles. - Randy 22:59, 18 June 2007 (EDT)
