ScottThanks to all responders, I didn't realize he played that much at other positions.
I guess my question would be more appropriately asked as "Given that he is so associated with the shortstop position, why would a card manufacturer go out of their way to list him at any position other than the one the player is most widely associated with?" I know there are many cases of players being listed with positions that were not their primary ones but this is Honus Wagner--a star/god even in his day--by 1915 you would think that shortstop is the no-brainer position to put on a card. Is there some history someone knows of which would go a ways in helping figure out why a card company would choose second base over shortstop--just seems kinds of strange to me.
