John J. McGraw, Hall of Fame Manager of the powerhouse NY Giants called Eddie the best
player he ever saw. A graduate of Columbia University, Eddie, for 25 years, played more games at 2nd base than
any other second basemen and hit for a lifetime average of .333. Incredibly, Eddie amassed 3078 runs produced in
his career (1818 Runs+1307 RBI's+47 HR's) more than Frank Robinson, Carl Yaztremski and Mickey Mantle. Eddie was
Connie Mack's 2nd baseman on the Athletics famed championship teams. Traded to the Chicago White Sox, he helped
transform that team into World Series champs. He was one of the few players who 'could not be bought' as others
were involved in the 'great fix' of the 1919 Black Sox Scandal.
