This gives Lajoie 17 years of major
league work and Wag.ier 16 seasons
beneath the big tent of 'lie game.
In these 17 years Lajoie has batted
over .400 once, over .350 nine times
and over .300 15 of his 17 years.
Wagner has never hit over .400, but
batted over .350 .even Umes and
ver .300 through all 18 seasons.

Ty Cobb to work against. As Cobb

his clan.
Wagner leads by a good margin,
however, in stolen bases and in the
fact that he has worked in 125 games
or more every season, while injuries
have bumped the Cleveland premier
below the 100-game mark five seasons.
