Hall of Fame Major League Baseball Player. Nicknamed "Hans" and "The Flying Dutchman," he began his Major League career on July 19, 1897, with the soon to be defunct Louisville Colonels. In 1900, he joined the Pittsburgh Pirates and helped lead them to National League [NL] titles from 1901 to 1903 and to a World Series victory over the Detroit Tigers in 1909. He lead the NL in many hitting categories throughout his 21-year career. His league record of eight batting titles was finally tied by Tony Gywnn in 1997. So outstanding were his abilities at the plate and in the field, primarily at short stop, that he was one of the first five inductees into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1936. He retired from the sport in 1917 and is still recognized as one of the premier players of all time. There is a bronze statue of Honus Wagner, created by Frank Vittor (Memorial #209641763), outside of PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
