Honus Wagner interview

[baltimorealwayswins]

Thats degrading, Honus Wagner died and they got some fucken washed up actor to play him on TV, if Honus were still alive he would kick ur ass...

[hooptyhee1]

Wonder if there's any interviews with the real Honus around--he was a coach for the Pirates until he was quite old, and would have been around during the radio era, anyway.

[PeteTheSnowDog1]

There are 58 of those T206 white border cards of Honus Wagner in existence. Only 1 is in mint condition !!

[zepballer]

dan gutman is my fav author and im 15.... it nvr gets old

[JeffersonDinedAlone]

Yes, dumb ass anchor suit, we're shocked by Wagner's appearance.

@Amebelodon ~ excellent question and awareness. pittsburgh was spelled without the "h" from 1890 to 1911. the "u.s. board of geographic names" changed it by dropping the "h". apparently there was confusion, a dispute, and/or different spellings of the name. a citizens campaign got the ruling reversed.

[Baltimoreman78]

He died in 1955...so I guess you can say he "Retired"

[GMT1221]

I have those books.

Honus Wagner and Ty Cobb Defined the Dead Ball era

[Wehategod]

Him and Ty Cobb were two of the greatest players during the Dead Ball era. I know some people will say Sam Crowford or even Chief Bender but Wagner and Cobb defined

[iMexicanEminem]

I have this book

[boogertt]

fail

[Zolio6]

I read Honus and Me. It was a really good book.

[BrandonThomasWasHere]

I was in the play with him. His name's Tupper

[edko426]

Cool. THanks

[LordReay]

That's actually pretty cool.

[rushtallica33]

why didnt they put out joe carter and me?

[buccos4life]

@rushtallica33 haha that was pretty funny.

[turdferguson2]

jesus christ, ESPN must not think too highly of their viewer's. "This is not the real Honus Wagner". thanks, dude.

[JRussoBuffaloNY]

I like how the interviewer says that t.v. has been around since "the 50's" lol try at least 1939. a better comparison would be to tell Honus that it is like having a cinematograph in your home. also Honus had a Penn Dutch-Deutsch dialect and accent.

[mikey226]

President Eisenhower told a story about that classic childhood question. What do you want to do when you grow up? Eisenhower wanted to be a big league ballplayer as good as Honus Wagner and his little friend wanted to be president. He ended the story by saying "you dont always get what you want."

[JRussoBuffaloNY]

ike was an asshole and a mass murderer of POWs

[bronze139]

and let not forget josh gibson

[Wehategod]

@bronze139 Sam Jethroe and Cool Papa Bell.

[stevevandien]

This is NOT a "Honus Wagner interview." It's an interview with a contemporary actor who is PORTRAYING Wagner. There is a difference, no? Blurring it shows respect neither for Wagner nor the historical record, particularly when many American high-school students can't identify the centuries in which the American Civil War and World War II occurred. Not to mention other egregious examples of historical ignorance.

[skiman95]

I am related to this man. It is amazing! Oh and my Family..well my mom's half of my family has the card...but we lost it...lol no joke

[Bremyguest2]

I saw a Hounus and me play it was good it was about a boy who kinda got made fun of like Hounus and he woke up one day and saw Hounus you should read the book its awesome oh and still cant believe his card is worth millions I want it

[fruticetum]

I didn't know Wagner was still alive. He does look remarkably young.

[orioles2009wschamps]

[orioles2009wschamps]

UR stupid he's like 134 years old

[fruticetum]

Doesn't he look great for his age?

[topdinero]
