None of them could quite equal
Collins. Some times old timers think
Denny was as good, because Denny
could play third base with his right
hand, as well as most players could
play the base with both right and
left. Others think Deylin was the
great man, because Devlln, for two
years, was making plays at third
base that raised him above all other
third bnsemen. Bobby Wallace is
recalled when he played third before
he went over TO shortstop but not
one of them could do all that Collins
did, or do II as easily as Jimmy
played.
Collins was one OF the third base
