Wagner's Great Record: Long Major League Career Highlights
The article traces Honus Wagner’s 14 pound frame and 6 foot 10 inch height as it outlines his career from 1894 with the Phillies through 1901 with the Athletics, then to Cleveland where he remained. Born in Carnegie, Pennsylvania in 1874, Wagner is portrayed as a lifelong survivor with a .300 batting mark in every season, close to Dan Brouthers’ .300 streak and contrasting with Lajoie’s less steady .500 runs.

The USGA bars amateurs who are paid for writing golf articles, threatening loss of amateur status after current contracts end.
