Hall of Fame Second Basemen


Ty Cobb won more batting titles in the American League than any other player. Do you know who was next? Second baseman Rod Carew.

Rogers Hornsby is arguably the best right handed hitter ever. "Rajah" hit over .400 three times and had a lifetime .358 batting average — best ever in the National League.

'Little Joe' Morgan was 5'7 and he was known for the tiny glove he wore - one which earned him five Gold Gloves Awards and an amazing streak of ninety-one consecutive games at second without an error.
