1933 Honus Wagner Interview #trending #shorts
Here he is, nearly 60 and a pirate coach. For 17 consecutive seasons, he hit over 300. He was fast and a superb shortstop. You saw plenty of changes in baseball, didn’t you, Hannis? I think there’s little difference in baseball now between when I started out and what she is now. Pitchers got harder work. In other words, they ain’t allowed to use the spit ball, the emery, and the mud ball and the shine ball. Now, you also need a heavier glove. And I used to wear one nothing but the fingers on. Now, I got to use this paddent cuz they come down there just a little bit warmer. Another classic baseball

The full video is one of my favorites. I was blown away that there was footage of Wagner and even talking so casually at that. Then getting to hear the chatter just sounded so modern-ish.
The video is spot on. Honus Wagner never looked better, and at 60.

Amazing. What an athlete he would’ve been in his prime seeing him move like that at 60
Wow. No wonder his card was worth 100k
Hitting for average not exit velo
One of the greatest hitters and infielders in baseball history
17 straight seasons over .300
Geez. Virtually impossible.
beautiful piece of American history
Cobb, Babe, Honus, Christy(1st deceased HOF inductee) & Walter Johnson. To go in 1st, Honus Must have deserved it
