Based on what I saw maybe Reggie Jackson. Although it's probably someone from the dead ball era.

Funny about Reggie... I did not know this one until it came up on my computer CD Strat-O-Matic game just a little while ago...

Ty Cobb is correct... At least according to my version of the CD ROM game... Well done! Cheers.

I wonder which HOF SS had the most errors. Maybe Honus Wagner, as a deadball era SS with a long career.

Or possibly Rabbit Maranville, who played forever. I'll check it out.

OK (following a stop at baseball-reference) I can offer the following trivia question.

Any guesses as to which HOF SS had the most errors? It's one of the four players below. I'm listing them in alphabetical order, and we're counting only errors made at SS:

Rabbit Maranville
Joe Tinker
Honus Wagner
Bobby Wallace

For the sake of irony , probably Tinker

Not Tinker, but he's close. Irony is served, though, in that Tinker is ranked near the very near the bottom of this list in DPs turned.

I guess it must be Wagner?
