Primary team: Pittsburgh Pirates. Primary position: Shortstop. Hall of Fame skipper John McGraw called Honus Wagner âThe nearest thing to a perfect player no matter where his manager chose to play himâ. Honus Wagner played 21 seasons, primarily with his hometown team the Pittsburgh Pirates, and was the total package. He could hit for average and power and could change the dynamics of a game on the base paths and in the field-- he played every position on the diamond in his major league career except for catcher.
