Years of Service: 15 (1902-1916)
Position: Shortstop
Bobby Wallace is the fifth and final Hall-of-Famer on my A to Z list, elected to Cooperstown in 1953. In fine Oriole/Brown tradition, he was considered the best shortstop in the American League during his prime. He was plenty good with the bat, too, amassing 2,309 hits for his career. He served as player/manager for two seasons: 1911 and 1912.
