Honus Wagner
John Peter "Honus" Wagner (February 24, 1874 near Pittsburgh- December 6, 1955) is considered by many to have been the greatest shortstop ever to play major league baseball.
Memory
A life-size statue of Wagner, swinging the bat, and atop a marble pedestal featuring admiring children, was forged and placed outside the gates at Forbes Field. The Pirates have relocated twice since then, and the statue has come along with them. It now stands outside the main gate of PNC Park. As that park is near the site of the Pirates' original home, Exposition Park, in a sense Wagner has come full circle.
