In case you've never heard Honus Wagner speak, or watched him in action. He's 59 here, but you can still get a glimpse of his strength & athleticism. His swing does not look as choked-up as was typical for his day.https://twitter.com/uniformcritic/status/1327782724594184202 …

Man, that is a rough looking fifty nine. Not so much at the plate, but that face. That’s a Keith Richards fifty nine.

Players tended to hit a lot more triples back then. I know ballparks like the old Yankee Stadium or the Polo Grounds had unique features that helped with triples. I do wonder how widespread this was in the early age of baseball.

Wagner's Honey Boy Evans Trophy given to the top batsman in 1908. Honey Boy Evans was a minstrel entertainer who took it upon himself to create the idea of a batting crown. Ty Cobb would win it the next 4 years in a row. Evans died of cancer soon after at the age of 44.pic.twitter.com/q55na6dWeV
