Days Past- BASE BALL: It Was Only a Game (1845-1919)
Courtesy The Sharlot Hall Museum<br>Hall of Famer Honus Wagner (Pittsburg Pirates), above, is considered one of the greatest players in baseball history. Primarily a shortstop, it is said that he was the best at any position he played, and he played them all. Below, Ty Cobb (Detroit Tigers), like Wagner, a charter member of the Hall of Fame, was also one of the all-time great baseballers. Unlike Wagner, he was loathed by other ball players, including his own teammates.
