    I don't think they will proclaim him the best of all-time. I'm fairly certain anybody involved enough with baseball to be writing about it as a career is well aware of Honus Wagner and all the Jeter-man-love in the world won't blind more than just a few numbskulls to the fact that Wagner is head and shoulders above every other shortstop ever.

    i don't think he was head and shoulders above Alex Rodriguez....
    Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are .

    He was. Rodriguez, as a shortstop, had 5,687 plate appearances at a 144 OPS+ with strong defense. Wagner's career OPS+ is higher than that at 150..and that includes his decline phase. A-Rod's top OPS+ as a shortstop was 162. Wagner topped that 7 times. Wagner won the "triple-slash stat triple crown" 4 times (AVG/OBP/SLG)...and three of those times he also led the league in steals. Wagner was one of the most dominant offensive forces of his time, all while playing shortstop.
