In the Tommy Leach chapter on page 23, Tommy Leach had the following statement with regards to Honus Wagner's fielding:

"And it also turned out that while Honus was the best third baseman in the league, he was also the best first baseman, the best second baseman, the best shortstop, and the best outfielder. That was in fielding. And since he led the league in batting eight times between 1900 and 1911, you know that he was the best hitter, too. As well as the best base runner."
