It's funny because we romanticize old legendary players it's sometimes hard to figure out where they truly stand in history.
Wagner is almost unanimously considered the greatest shortstop and against his contemporaries (which IMO is how it SHOULD be judged) there is no doubt. But was he really better than Ripken or Jeter if you put him on today's field? It's something we will never know but I i have always been curious how Ruth or Foxx or Mathewson would have fared against modern players. Last edited by ksabet; 08-01-2014 at 06:39 PM.
