Connie Mack's ...... Tale of Two Collins

Connie Mack needed a veteran 3rd baseman. In June 1907, he acquired Jimmy Collins. In 1908, Connie switched Danny Murphy to RF and put the young 21-year old Eddie
Collins at 2nd base. Connie Mack boasted that with Simon Nicholls at SS and both Collins's, he had one of the better infields in the AL (ref..Connie Mack's biography).
