But this is an interesting part of baseball history
Collins was a spectacular player. Great hitter, drew lots of walks, and a brilliant fielder. He was also a supremely talented baserunner and base stealer. Much of this was due to his very high intelligence, which he is famous for. He thought through the game perhaps more than any contemporary. He was a natural leader who was respected by all, and his teams won, again and again.
