and Speaker have lasted twenty years
or more. Paul Hines went through
twenty seasons of pennant chasing
and Jim O'Rourke did twenty-five
years of campaigning.
Against this quartet of outfielders
are eight infielders, all of more or less
renown, who had twenty or more
years of service to their credit.
Hans Wagner started out as an out
fielder and then switched to the in
field and did strenuous work at short
stop for many seasons. His career
lasted for twenty-one years and he
never spared himself. After he got
through in the majors he continued
his activities as a semipro and just
the other day played part of game
at Grafton.
Larry Lajoie spent twenty one sea-
sons in the National and American
leagues, and other infielders who
served for score or more of years
were Lave Cross, Jim White, Kid Glea-
son, Rhody Wallace and Eddie Col
Inns.
Pitchers do not last long. Only two
of them ever went two decades in the
big show. Walter Johnson had TWEEN
ty-one years in the American loop, all
with Washington, and Denton Tecum-
sch (Cy) Young lasted for twenty-five
seasons in the National and American
circuits.
Catchers are also short lived in the
majors. Jim Mcguire was the only one
who ever lasted over score of years.
Continuous squatting cuts short the
career of catchers. This affects the
tendons in the knees and slows up the
backstops considerably.
