Personal Favorite SS: Builder

[jfg]

Can't believe the greatest shortstop ever only has 5 votes. After McGwire did well in the 1b vote I thought steroids would be a non-factor. Maybe it's a combination of steroids/Yankees/3B.

You are mistaken, Honus Wagner has only 2 votes.

This. And younger voters are going to think of him as a third basemen rather than a short stop. He has been playing 3B for the past seven seasons...it's tough to not think of him that way now. I didn't see a whole lot of him at SS myself.

He should win either SS or 3B. If you consider what he has done at each position separately in terms of production he's probably the best SS ever and in the top 5 at 3B. Pretty ridiculous.

Plus this is a vote for your favorite players. Not just the best ones.

Nah Honus Wagner was better. Ole Honus was without a doubt better with the glove, better on the bases, and an arguement can be made Honus was A-rod's equal with the bat (he won 8 batting titles in his career).

He's not a likeable guy, there are a lot of fans who despise him for various reasons.
