Tuesday nite TRIVIA....What is unique about this HOFer's career ?

[Yoda]

Half-brother of Eddie?

First third baseman to play in on bunts and chops ???

Before him the "short stop" played in on most plays. Collins coming in at third allowed the SS to cover more infield.

Anything to do with bunting?...I once read he was known for playing the bunt. Probably no that youre looking for but a stab nonetheless.

My guess is that he was instrumental by moving from the NL, to the AL, and becoming a part owner of the team when he moved, and helped break up the stranglehold a team had on a player if the team didn't want to let him out of his contract. He also was part of the first attempt to unionize players.
