He glanced toward the shortstop, who had been the hit leader for the decade just ended. The shortstop, as easy-going as his opponent was hard-boiled, expected the runner to try to steal second base. He readied his hulking body for the inevitable collision. The runner raced for second, but the catcher's throw was on target. The shortstop slapped the tag hard on the sliding baserunner's face. A trickle of blood dripped as the umpire called him out. Thus ended the first skirmish in the war that was the only meeting between Detroit's Ty Cobb and Pittsburgh's Honus Wagner. The Flying Dutchman batted .333 with six runs batted in and six steals in leading the Pirates to the Series title in seven games. In his 21-year career, Wagner won eight batting titles, a National League record he shares with the San Diego Padres' Tony Gwynn. He batted above .300 for 17 consecutive seasons including seven times hitting at least .350 and finished with a .329 lifetime average.

HONUS WAGNER Greatest Shortstop of All Time Many baseball authorities name Honus Wagner as the greatest all-around baseball player of all time. His career statistics certainly make a good case for that, and also one area statistics don't cover very well - defense - add to the luster of his reputation. Comparing players is a constant debate, but a baseball expert who has seen all the greatest players can be a good place to start. Ed Barrow was one of Wagner's coaches in his early career, and later would become the general manager of the New York Yankees. After working with such stars as Lou Gehrig, Babe Ruth, and Joe DiMaggio, Barrow would insist that Honus Wagner was the greatest player that he ever saw.

%%%%RS.EOF Thursday, September 15, 2005 Press Clippings Sunday SPORTS FINAL EDITION WAGNER'S WILD CARD: Mystery has surrounded Honus T206 since 1909 BY MICHAEL O'KEEFFE AND BILL MADDEN - NEW YORK DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITERS March 25, 2001 He never looked like a million bucks. He had an awkward appearance and a clumsy walk, but many still consider Honus Wagner one of baseball's greatest players. Inducted into the Hall of Fame's first class with Babe Ruth, Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson and Ty Cobb in 1936, the Flying Dutchman was a flawless shortstop for the Pittsburgh Pirates at the turn of the century. But the most valued part of Wagner's legacy comes in a pocket-sized slice of cardboard Americana known among collector cognoscenti as the 1909 Gretzky T206 Honus Wagner. In other words, Honus' baseball card. It is the most coveted card in the world, selling last year for $1.26 million, the second-most expensive piece of sports memorabilia in history, behind the $3 million paid for Mark McGwire's 70th home run ball. It is called the Mona Lisa of baseball cards, its condition far superior to the other 50 or so known T206 Wagners, making it the object of fierce bidding by wealthy men, including NHL great Wayne Gretzky, whose name now graces the card in its official description.

Honus Wagner Raffle Gross: $22.5 Million at Wal-Mart by Dorothy S. Gelatt Sotheby's sold the pristine 1910 Honus Wagner baseball card for an eye-popping $451,000 auction record in 1991. Wal-Mart discount stores just made the upscale art auctioneers look like pikers by offering the card as top bait in a sports card clearance raffle that grossed more than $22.5 million! Treat Entertainment, hot-shot sports card distributors, put the Wal-Mart deal together in what was probably the world series winner of overstock fire sales. At last count, they reported raffle promotion total sales of "forty-five to fifty million" card packs. "Better make that forty-five million," said their spokesman, John Appuhn, who first reported only 30 million packs right after the raffle ended. There were 500,000 entrants! TV star Larry King picked the winning raffle entry live on his "Larry King Weekend" TV show on February 24—Honus Wagner's historic 122nd birthday. Surrounded by Baseball Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda, "baseball legend" Joe Garagiola, and San Francisco Giants star Barry Bonds, Larry King plunged his hand into Honus Wagner's old road trunk, owned by Treat, filled with 4000 eligible preliminary winner names, and pulled out a plum. "And the winner is..." Ms. Patricia Gibbs, 41, a postal employee of Hollywood, Florida. All the preliminary winners were notified to stay home by their phones that night for the winning call. Ms. Gibbs did that. But there was a glitch. Larry King reached somebody else's answering machine, and Ms. Gibbs did not actually get the call during the show. In fact, she did not actually see the show because she does not get CNN.

56. Previously Unknown Honus Wagner Card To Be Sold: Maine Antique Digest, Feb. 1998 Unknown honus wagner Card Discovered. by Lita SolisCohen. A previously unknownhonus wagner baseball card advertising 5¢ and 10¢ cigars turned up in a http://www.maineantiquedigest.com/articles/honu0298.htm

Unknown Honus Wagner Card Discovered by Lita Solis-Cohen "It is certainly the rarest Honus Wagner tobacco card in existence," said David Hunt, who runs the sports memorabilia auctions. It was consigned by the woman who found it loose in her father's scrapbook. According to Hunt's catalog, Wagner began coal mining in his hometown of Mansfield, Pennsylvania, at the age of 12 and began his baseball career on the Mansfield team in the Ohio State League at the age of 21. In 1889 he joined the Paterson, New Jersey, team of the Atlantic League before being sold to the National League Louisville Colonels in 1897 for $800. Wagner played for the Colonels until 1900 when he and 14 other players were transferred to the Pittsburgh Pirates. That dates the card somewhere between 1897 and 1899. Henry Reccius, a Louisville, Kentucky, cigar maker, ran a Union shop. There is a Union-made symbol on the top left-hand corner of the card and a long Union endorsement on the back of the card with the words: "Even the Devil can't stand the smell of a cooking scab on the griddle of Hell." The legend is that Wagner did not like tobacco and insisted his image not be used for its sale; that's why Honus Wagner cards are so rare. That may not be true. Wagner was known to use tobacco, but his main objection was he didn't want kids to have tobacco, so he did not want his image used on cards that would get into the hands of children.
