The Hitters
All-Time Great Honus Wagner will have his work cut out for him: Will his speed and average be enough to hold off HOF mortal lock Albert Pujols? And what about the other Hall-of-Famers, Yogi Berra and Joe Sewell? What about single-season triples record holder Chief Wilson?
Frankly, Frank Howard, Oyster Burns, and Reggie Sanders are all ready to challenge. Only four are likely to make it through to Round 7.
