This is a good question, I'm not sure why either. He is considered by Bill James to be the greatest second-baseman of all time. James used a "win-shares" formula to determine the greatest baseball players of all time - and if you look at his list, the formula is rather convincing. Overall, he has Collins as the 12th best player of all time.

Personally, I think Hornsby was - and I think Joe Morgan is the most overrated 2b of all time.....but that's just me. I also think Hank Aaron is one of the most underrated players of all time.

Regardless, Collins WAS definitively better than Nap Lajoie and yet the hobby does not reflect that.

I agree with Hornsby, but I do think there is still an argument regarding who was superior between Collins and Lajoie.
