Hughie Critz
 
Best defensive second baseman in baseball in the 1920s. “Such stars as Johnny Evers and Eddie Collins had set the fashion and brains and second base sort of went together. So I decided to appear smart, too. I shifted to the right for this batter, to the left for that one, guessed wrong half the time but got away with it,” Critz said.
